Yes. The freedom of information officer in the Health Service Executive rejected or only partially responded to a freedom of information request. Is it possible for the committee to obtain a determination on this matter? I found that the request was direct and specific, yet the HSE determined that it was too broad. My reading is that it was not too broad, although I appreciate this will always be a matter of opinion and the ultimate decision maker is the freedom of information officer. Is it feasible for the committee to obtain a determination on the decision, perhaps through the Data Protection Commissioner? I am not sure under whose jurisdiction the matter falls.
