Dear Mx Roberts,

Thank you for your email of 19 June 2021.

The information you have requested will be published at a future date. We would be grateful for your kind patience.

Exemption under section 22 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 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.

If you would like to appeal this decision please set out your reasons in writing to [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 Information Commissioner, the regulator of FOIA and DPA at:
