SIC On 24 March 2015, Mr Kelly asked the Ministers for information relating to Professor Muftah Salem Eljamel, a former surgeon at Ninewells Hospital, Dundee. The Ministers provided some information to Mr Kelly, but withheld the remainder under a number of different exemptions in FOISA.
Following a review, Mr Kelly remained dissatisfied and applied to the Commissioner for a decision.
The Commissioner investigated and found that all of the information which the Ministers had withheld was personal data, and that disclosure of the personal data would breach the Data Protection Act.
