The complainant has requested the relevant professional registration numbers of individuals involved in his mother's care. The above public authority initially relied on section 40(2) of FOIA to withhold the information, before claiming that some was reasonably accessible and therefore exempt under section 21 of FOIA. The Commissioner's decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, he is not satisfied that the public authority has complied with its duty under section 1(1) of FOIA. The public authority has also breached sections 10 and 17 of FOIA. The Commissioner requires the public authority to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: issue a fresh response, to the request, that explicitly confirms or denies that information, other than that already provided to the complainant, is held. If (and only if) further information is held, the public authority should either disclose it or issue a refusal notice.
