Dear General Medical Council,

Thank you for your acknowledgements and it is understandable and okay for their to be a delay.

I would like to make a clarification in relation to the above, having read some of your other FOI disclosures. Names of individual doctors are considered by our profession as personal data, and are information relating to living identifiable individuals, as defined by the Data Protection Act 1998. Please do not provide any names or GMC numbers of doctors or staff. We can all be part of the change which includes following the outcomes detailed in https://clicktime.symantec.com/3VvJhZ1PcZ945jsuAYpSTis6H2?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gmc-uk.org%2F-%2Fmedia%2Fdocuments%2Ffair-to-refer-report_pdf-79011677.pdf

Yours faithfully,

Dr S. Ali
