Deputy Information Commissioner quits due to 'lack of funding and staff'

Nicola Whiting to leave Information Commissioners' Office after 17 years

The Island's deputy information commissioner will leave her job later this year due to concerns over lack of funding and staff at the office.

Nicola Whiting's announcement comes less than a month after Information Commissioner Iain McDonald revealed he was leaving his post.

He finished his role yesterday (21 July).

In a post on the authority's LinkedIn page Ms Whiting says she's leaving for the same reasons as Mr McDonald who cited the 'devastating' impact budget cuts have had on the service as among the reasons for his resignation.

Ms Whiting will leave in September after 17 years with the office.
