The number of Freedom of Information requests responded to by the Department in each of the years 2016 to 2020 and to date in 2021 are set out below in tabular format.

Year Total FOI Requests made to the Department
2016 209
2017 298
2018 281
2019 258
2020 259
To date in 2021 239

While the Department maintains a publicly available FOI log, this log does not report on the format of records released under each FOI request nor is this information collated elsewhere. For this reason it is not possible to provide the requested information.
