Dear J Roberts

Your information access request

I’ve considered your request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000
(FOIA).

I can’t provide the information you requested for as we’re currently
planning to publish it in the near future. We expect it to be available in
the next 4 weeks.

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 information you requested. If you would
like to appeal this decision please set out your reasons in writing to
[1][GMC request email]. Please note that we will only usually consider appeals
received within 40 working days of our response. You can also appeal to
the [2]Information Commissioner, the regulator of the FOIA and DPA at:
