For the given data, you will see that some of the figures are shown as, five or less than five, this figure has been suppressed because the statistical value is less than five. The Scottish Ambulance service has a duty, under the Data Protection Act to avoid directly or indirectly revealing any personal details. It is therefore widely accepted that provision of statistics on small numbers, five or less are statistically suppressed upon disclosure.
In relation to the request for details of the reported incidents, the Scottish Ambulance Service is applying Section 38(1)(b) of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act.
An exemption under section 38(1)(b) of FOISA states: information which relates to a living individual other than the applicant for the information will be exempt where the disclosure of the information would breach Article 21 of the GDPR, right to object to processing.
This exemption is subject to the ‘public interest test’. Therefore, taking account of the circumstances of this request, this is not something which is of serious concern and therefore beneficial to the public to breach a Data subject’s rights to object on the use and release of their data.
