Dear Ms. Beford,

I apologise for the lack of clarity in my original request.

At this point in time, I am happy to not know who the original applicant was.

Will it be possible to receive the sequence of communications between the two parties?

I look forward to hearing from you either way.

Yours sincerely,

Kristof Wing

Dear Ms. Santolin,

Thank you clarifying this request.

To clarify, I wish for the term 'letters' to be interpreted as 'any and all communications' between the applicant of FOI250-1314 and the Therapeutic Goods Administration.

I also wish to clarify that this request relates to FOI250-1314, and not FOI250-14158 as stated in your previous letter.

Please do not hesitate to contact me should there be any issues.

Best wishes,
Kristof Wing

Phone call with TGA (Liz Santolin) on 14/11 to clarify letter requesting clarification.

Dear Mr Wing

 

Unfortunately I was unable to reach you by phone earlier this week.

 

I am writing in relation to your question as to whether the documents that
were published on the TGA’s Disclosure Log for FOI 250-1314 are the same
as those released to the FOI applicant.

Please note that the documents published are the same as those released,
with the minor exception that the documents published had all email
address extensions redacted to avoid web spammers (for example
“@tga.gov.au” has been removed).

 

I trust this information is helpful.

 

Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you would like to discuss this
further.

 

Kind regards

Liz
