Summary: The complainant requested the detailed marking system (or scoring scale) used to score each question in the application process for the Plastic Surgery course Specialty Training 3rd Year. The public authority refused the request citing section 36(2)(c) of the Act. However, at internal review it withdrew its reliance on section 36(2)(c) and stated it did not hold the requested information. The Commissioner has found that the public authority did hold relevant recorded information in this case, that the information engages the exemption found in section 36(2)(c) and that the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosure. He has found procedural breaches of section 1(1)(a), 17(1)(a), 17(1)(b), 17(1)(c) and 17(3). However, he requires no remedial steps to be taken.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 17 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 36 - Complaint Not upheld
