The number of FOI Requests received in my Department this year is 222.

51 of these requests were refused in full and 57 included refusal of some records or parts of records, (with others released).

14 requests are ongoing, that is, subject to the making of a final decision.

4 decisions were appealed and subject to an Internal Review as provided for by the Act.  Of those four, three were consequent upon full refusal decisions and one upon a partly refused decision.
