Dear FOI,
You have sent me the exact same information. This In my last inquiry, I very clearly stated:
FOI 2245
1 of 3
DOCUMENT 15
"If any or all of the above are not available to this department, I would respectfully ask that you
transfer this request to the most relevant department."
Under section 19 of the FOIA act, it is not unreasonable to expect the department of health to
transfer this request to the most relevant department of which this request can be actioned.
You have chosen not to transfer this request.
1982
The implication of this outcome as such has me wondering why the Department of Health has
Act
not done ANY statistical analysis of COVID-19 deaths.
Which department is able to action my request? Please transfer this request to them.
I will ask this next question as clearly and articulated as I can, and I do requilest a formal
response:
Has the department of Health done ANY statistical analysis of COVID-19 deaths?

Lastly, as a result of the outcome of this request:
I will now require ALL communications pertinent to this request. This includes, but is not limited
to: internal/external messages & emails, transcripts, phone conversations, etc.
Yours sincerely,
