Dear Brooke

 

Thank you for agreeing to the small extension requested below. I note that
I am still reviewing the documents and I have located some information in
the document titled 'Ratio of direct supports’ where the research officer
corresponded by email with 13 Occupational Therapy organisations both in
Australia and overseas and received email replies from 6.

 

As this information is summarised in the document, the purpose of this
email is to seek your agreement to redact the emails and names relating to
organisations and their staff, while retaining the summaries of their
responses.

 

Can you please advise if you are agreeable to the above at your earliest
convenience or by the end of today if possible so I can complete my
decision to you as soon as practicable.

 

Alternatively, if you are not agreeable to the above, I am required to
conduct third party consultations with these organisations under sections
27 and 27A of the FOI Act. This means I will require an additional 30 days
to complete this process and make my decision.

 

I look forward to your response 

 

Kind regards
