Summary

Mr C complained to us that his GP practice had unreasonably notified the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) that he had alcohol issues. We found that the practice had previously discussed this matter with Mr C and that it had been reasonable for them to contact the DVLA regarding their concerns about Mr C's health and alcohol intake. We did not uphold Mr C's complaint.
