obtained. For further details please to refer to Clause 6.7 of Section C of the Report.

7. GENERAL COMPLIANCE ISSUES
7.1 Data Protection and Freedom of Information
We have not identified any material obstacles to the Merger in the context of our review of the
materials provided by CCG which relate to data protection ("DP") and freedom of information
("FOI"). Given that GMC also has its own DP and FOI policies, it will be necessary to consider
which of these policies will apply post Merger.
