Dear Gill,

 

The Office of the Ombudsman wrote to ESR regarding our original decision
on your request, stating that your ‘concern is whether a request for the
daily wastewater Covid testing results for August 2020 with dates and
locations would require a substantial amount of work that would 'unduly
affect' ESR’s team.’

We have attached a spreadsheet noting sites and results from August 2020
and August and September 2021 – we trust this will answer your original
questions satisfactorily.

We are sending our revised response to both you and the Office of the
Ombudsman.

The Office will contact you to see if our revised decision has resolved
your complaint. Assuming it has, the Chief Ombudsman will then discontinue
his investigation and the file will be closed.

 

Please find attached our revised response to your original request

 

 

Thank you and regards,

 

Andrew Scanlon
