I acknowledge receipt of your application, made pursuant to the Right to
Information Act 2009 (‘the Act’), to the Department of Health.

 

However pursuant to s13(3) of the Act the application is not accepted as
it does not meet the minimum information that must be contained in an
application:

 

13. Application for assessed disclosure of information

...

(3) An application must contain the minimum information as prescribed in
the regulations.

 

Regulation 4 of the Right to Information Regulations 2009 prescribes:

R4. Minimum information to be contained in application for assessed
disclosure

For section 13(3) of the Act, the minimum information that must be
contained in an application for an assessed disclosure is as follows:

(a) the name of the applicant;

(b) the address of the applicant, for communication on matters relating to
the application;

(c) the daytime contact details of the applicant;

(d) the general topic of the application;

(e) details of the information sought by the applicant;

(f) details of any efforts undertaken by the applicant, before the
application was made, to obtain the information sought;

(g) the date of the application;

(h) the signature of the applicant;

(i) if the application includes a request for personal information of the
applicant, proof of identity of the applicant.

In my view paragraphs (c), (e), (f) and (h) have not been complied with.

 

Furthermore, pursuant to s16 of the Act an application must be accompanied
by the fee or $39.50 or a request for the fee to be waived.
