The request was successful.

Dear Repatriation Medical Authority,

BACKGROUND:

On 22 October 2021 the RMA gazetted a review into atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter.

INFORMATION I AM SEEKING:

I require a FULL COPY of the minutes of each meeting from 22 October 2021 as it relates to atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter, including all briefing papers that have been written.

I am comfortable for the requested minutes to redact surnames, email addresses and phone numbers if required, of DVA staff and the secretariat plus those mentioned who have made a submission to atrial fibrillation or any and other conditions being discussed, but NOT the names of the 6 RMA members.

Yours faithfully,

Alan ASHMORE
