To clarify, the Ministry does not have grounds to extend your request for
information, and this response is now overdue. However, we are unable to
provide you with a completed response at this time. The Ministry will
endeavour to respond to your request as soon as possible.
We are happy to provide you with an update in early January 2022, when we
have a better estimate of when a full response can be provided.

Dear Ministry of Health,
I'm following up on your email of 21 December, when you informed me that you had no specific due date for my request, but that:
"We are happy to provide you with an update in early January 2022, when we have a better estimate of when a full response can be provided."
Are you now in a position to let me know when I can expect your response?
Yours sincerely,

Dear OIA Requests,
I think the file size of the response document (35.7MB) is too large to display on FYI. Are you able to send it through again in multiple files? I think 10MB is the limit.

It has taken a whole YEAR to get this information!
Perhaps it took someone that length of time to go through, word by word, which bits they wanted to redact. The reasons for this are spurious, to say the least.
