Dear Mr Fairless

 

Thank you for your request to the Department of Health (Department) of 14
November 2018 seeking access under the Freedom of Information Act 1982
(FOI Act) to:

 

‘Dear Minister for Sport,

 

Under section 23 of the Freedom of Information Act, the principal officer
or minister can make arrangements to give their decision making powers to
others.

 

I'm hoping you can provide me with a copy of the current arrangements if
possible.

 

If it helps, I'm happy for you to process this request under
"administrative release"
(https://www.oaic.gov.au/freedom-of-infor...).
This would reduce the cost and time required to make a formal decision.

 

That said, I understand sometimes you want the request to be formal. If
you won't process it informally, please process my request for the
document as a formal FOI Request.

 

Please note - While I volunteer for Right to Know, this request is made in
a personal capacity and not on behalf of Right to Know.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Ben Fairless’

 

 

Preliminary searches undertaken indicate that the Department does not
appear to hold any documents within the scope of your request.

 

Next steps

On that basis, please confirm if you would like the Department’s FOI unit
to make a formal FOI decision that we hold no documents, or alternatively
please confirm if you would like to withdraw your request.

 

If the FOI unit does not hear from you by COB 18 December 2018 indicating
your preferred option, we will consider your request withdrawn.

 

Please do not hesitate to contact the FOI unit on (02) 6289 1666 or via
email at [1][email address] if you would like to discuss further.

 

Kind regards
