NHS Greater Manchester consider the names of staff and individuals contact email addresses as exempt from disclosure under section 40 (2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 as it constitutes personal data where disclosure would be in breach of the Data Protection Act 2018. In addition, the email addresses (which includes names, as personal data) are available to provide direct communication channels between themselves for official business reasons. There is an expectation that these email addresses are not intended for release into the public domain or to provide a general contact list for public or business use.

As section 40 (2) is an absolute exemption there is no duty to consider disclosure in the public interest. They are set out in Part II of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
