Ministry of Health

A top 10 most requested agency and A ministry

  • Are you requesting the same information that someone else already has? Please don't. A large number of duplicate requests will not convince an agency to give a different response.
  • Trying to establish "public interest" by asking for information that has already been refused? Please don't. "Public interest" does not just mean "of interest to the public." Public interest broadly means public good. Please see: Public interest: A guide to the public interest test
