On a related front, we have had a problem where professionals within our
Social Care arena sought to hide behind 'personal/third party' exemptions
to avoid subject access to their work and opinions. I have discussed this
(face to face) with one of the Commissioner's Compliance managers and he
was unequivocal. A professional opinion (one delived by someone being
paid, as part of their work) is not third party information and to quote
him, "professionals have to stand by what they say".
I would imagine that the same is true for any work or committee membership
undertaken 'professionally'.
