Dear Mr Roberts
Thank you for your email dated 13 May 2021 , in which you request Dr
Cohen’s hearing decision.
The information you have asked for is currently being prepared for
publication in the near future and I cannot release this to you now.
The exemption
Section 22 of the FOIA is the exemption which applies to information
intended for future publication. This exemption is subject to a public
interest test and I believe that the public interest in maintaining the
exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.
Your right to appeal
I'm sorry I couldn’t provide the requested information to you. You can
appeal against my decision to the Information Access Manager. If you want
to appeal, please set out your reasons and email [1][GMC request email]
You can also appeal to the Information Commissioner, the regulator of the
FOIA– we can provide more details about this if you need them.
Kind regards
Louise
