The data subject was a patient's parent and a patient. They asked the Rome Provincial Order of Surgeons and Dentists about the actual status of the processing of data about their child and, if so, access to such information according to Article 15 GDPR. As the data subject asked for the intervention of the Garante, the organisation provided his response, claiming that the request was not well-founded. The Garante found that the Order failed in responding to the data subject without undue delay and in any event within one month of receipt of the request, and it did not provide justification for the delay of the response. Further, it had not provided the information requested by the data subject, claiming that they were included in documents related to ongoing disciplinary proceedings opened after some data subject's complaints. However, the Order failed in informing the data subject about the reasons for not providing the requested information in due time.
