You asked
Can we please have the full names of those who have died or their deaths have been contributed to by unintentional carbon monoxide poisoning from appliances powered by any carbon based fuel that burns?
We therefore ask for the full names of the deceased persons, the date of death and the place of death.
We said
Thank you for your request.
Unfortunately we cannot provide you with the information you require as it is considered personal information. Under section 39 of the Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007, the disclosure of information held by the Statistics Board which identifies an individual (including a body corporate) is prohibited. We therefore find that s.44(1)(a) of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) 2000 applies; s.44(1)(a) is an absolute exemption and no consideration of the public interest test needs to be applied.
