Dear Mr Hamblin

 

I refer to your FOI request of 17 September 2015 to the Department of
Health (as below).

 

Section 15 of the FOI Act requires that a request for documents meets
certain requirements. Your request, in its current form, does not
constitute a valid request. Please note that the Act provides for access
to documents and not to 'information'. In order for your request to be
processed under the provisions of the FOI Act you must provide us with
further information to enable us to identify the document or documents you
are seeking.

 

For example, you may wish to consider submitting the following scope:

 

“Ratified minutes from any Advisory Committee on the Safety of
Prescription Medicines (ACSOM) meeting where CHAMPIX was discussed.”

 

Please note that this scope is a sample only. At this early stage, a
search and retrieval has not been conducted and the TGA is unable to
advise on whether it may be too voluminous to process or if any documents
will be returned.

 

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like to discuss this
further.

 

Kind regards

Liz
