Since my Department was established on 2 June, 2011, 10 requests under the Freedom of Information Act have been received. Four of these requests were processed on behalf of my Department by the Department of Health, as the Freedom of Information Unit had yet to be set up within my own Department.

No search and retrieval fees were sought in relation to the 10 requests.
