Is information relating to human health covered by the Regulations or FOIA?
The Regulations cover human health and safety in as far as the environment affects it. This includes by means of organisms such as bacteria or viruses, effects of noise, waste, or emissions, effects of living in different areas of the land, accidents and their causes, and effects on health of any policies or legislation which may themselves have any effects on the environment. Other aspects of health and safety are covered by FOIA – e.g. mortuary photos and age-related illness.
