an automatic reply to let you know we received it.

than 20 working days. If you'd like to calculate the timeframe, you can
use the Ombudsman's online calculator

Due to the COVID-19 global pandemic response, the Ministry is experiencing
significantly higher volumes of queries and requests for information. This
means we may take some time in responding to your request. The Ministry
regularly updates information about the COVID-19 situation and publishes
OIA responses considered to be of public interest:

hear from us soon if that is the case here.
