Care Quality Commission

The complainant has requested the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to disclose all the information it holds relating to production and subsequent withdrawal of fixed penalty notices issued at three locations. Initially, the CQC refused to confirm or deny if the recorded information is held citing section 44(2) of the FOIA. During the Commissioner’s investigation, however, this was withdrawn and replaced by section 31(3). The Commissioner’s decision is that the CQC is entitled to refuse to confirm or deny whether the recorded information is held in accordance with section 31(3) and she is satisfied that the public interest rests in maintaining this exemption. The Commissioner does not therefore require any further action to be taken.

FOI 31: Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: fs50859838
