We do endeavour to provide information whenever possible. However, in this instance an exemption under section 38(1)(b) (personal information) of FOISA applies to some of the information requested.
This exemption applies because it may be possible to identify individuals if we broke down the information by Health Board due to low numbers. We have therefore provided a list of the Health Boards where there were Premature retirements in the interest of efficiency for the period requested.
This protects us from contravening the Data protection principles in Schedule 1 to the Data Protection Act 1998.
