Hi Paul,

As a user of this site, it seems you are having trouble locating the correct department to ask about this information.

Below is a link to the Western Australian Government Department of Health, and in particular the relevant FOI request page

https://www.health.gov.au/about-us/corpo...

Good luck

Steph

Dear Freedom of Information,
To FOI. That’s Why I Was Directing The Inquiry To The Department Of Health Western Australia.
I Have Been In Contact With Their FOI Department And Will Be Going Through Them For This Information As This Will Become Very Involved And Lawyers And Press Will Be Used Once The Information Has Been Obtained From All Sources That Took Part In This Action.

Yours sincerely,

P. Dorrington
