Dear Department of Health,

 

Can I please have a copy of the current FOI Delegations, and any related
directions issued in respect of FOI.

 

I believe this information could be considered "operational information"
so I therefore request release under the IPS, or under Administrative
Access.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Ben Fairless
