Article Applied
Article 33 - Commercial interests
Information is qualified exempt information if –
(a) it constitutes a trade secret; or
(b) its disclosure would, or would be likely to, prejudice the commercial interests of a person (including the scheduled public authority holding the information).
Public Interest Test
Article 33 is a qualified exemption and as such we have conducted a prejudice test as required by law. Disclosing information relating to contractual service arrangements is likely to prejudice the commercial interests of HCS and others. When considering the application of this exemption, HCS has determined that whilst it is in the public interest to disclose information, this is outweighed by the necessity to limit any impact on its commercial interests in contracting future Locum clinician services and as such, Article 33 has been applied.
