Hi Paul
My name is Andrew Georgiades, and I am the Decision Maker for your FOI.
As you are aware the date for HSS to provide a Decision on your FOI Request for documentation is approaching. I am writing to request a brief extension to the FOI. I am sorry to be requesting this, but unfortunately recent personnel changes in the team, together with the work our team does supporting the Crisis Management Team which was activated during the recent lockdown and then restrictions in WA, has meant that we have been delayed in finalising your request.
We are therefore requesting an extension of time until Friday 28 May 2021 at the latest to be able to provide you with a complete Notice of Decision. Hopefully this is acceptable?
Thanks and regards
Andrew Georgiades | Manager Governance, Risk and Compliance
Office of the Chief Executive

Hi Paul,
My apologies for the delay in replying to your email below, and to your FOI request.
In terms of finalising my decision, unfortunately some things outside my control here at work have impacted on my capacity to finalise the decision within the agreed upon time frame. I am working to finalise this matter, but request a further extension until Monday 7 June 2021 to send you my notice of decision. Is this acceptable?
My apologies again for the delays in dealing with your application, and for any inconvenience the delays have caused you.
Kind regards
Andrew Georgiades | Manager Governance, Risk and Compliance

Dear HSS Governance, Risk & Compliance,
I am disheartened with the further delay in processing the request. Especially given the time frame was one defined by the department itself.
I don't appear to be given much choice with the re-revised time frame. As such I begrudgingly agree to the new time frame of Monday 7 June 2021.
I await your notice of decision.
Yours sincerely,
Paul
