Report Summary
Issued 22 March 2023, this FOI response provides the Statistical Reporting including NDAs report presented to the Legal Committee on 13 December and explains why some of the information is exempt from disclosure.
Response
The Statistical Reporting including NDAs report presented to the Legal Committee on 13 December is provided as Attachment 1.
Whilst we aim to provide information wherever possible, in some instances, information is exempt in terms of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 and explanation has been provided where this applies.
Appendix 1 (Details of NDAs) is considered to be exempt under Section 36(2) Confidentiality - actionable breach of confidence. As this information was obtained in confidence from a third party and relates to details of non-disclosure agreements put in place, disclosure would
constitute an actionable breach of confidence as far as the involved parties are concerned. This exemption is absolute and therefore does not require the application of the public interest test.
