- Decision(s) FOI 21: Upheld, FOI 40(2): Upheld
The complainant has requested information from NHS Commissioning Board (“NHS England”) about the Independent Review of Gender Identity Service for children and young people including the terms of appointment for the Chair of the review. NHS England refused to comply with the request citing section 21 (information already reasonably accessible) and section 40(2) (Personal Information) of FOIA.
The Commissioner’s decision is that NHS England correctly relied on sections 21 and 40(2) to withhold the information.
The Commissioner does not require further steps.
