Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman (Education (Other)): ICO 7 Aug 2017

ICO The complainants submitted a request to the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman (PHSO) for details of two clinicians who had reported to the PHSO in connection with its investigation of a complaint about a medical trust. The complainant had previously received a redacted copy of the reports. The PHSO refused the request, citing as its basis for doing so the exemptions provided by sections 44 (statutory prohibitions) and 40(2) (third party personal data) of the FOIA. The Commissioner has determined that section 44 was applied correctly and does not therefore require any steps to be taken in response to this notice.
