1. delivering disability assistance assessments by the Scottish Government and/or its health boards ; and,

Response

An exemption under section 38(1)(b) (Third Part Personal Data) of FOISA applies to some of the information you have requested. Disclosing this information would contravene the data protection principles in Article 5(1) of the General Data Protection Regulation and in section 34(1) of the Data Protection Act 2018.

This exemption is not subject to the ‘public interest test’, so we are not required to consider if the public interest in disclosing the information outweighs the public interest in applying the exemption.
