I did not find completed meeting minutes/ agenda for 2022 and 2023 online, therefore,

We thank you for drawing this oversight to our attention. 
 
You are entitled to seek an investigation and review of my decision by writing to an 
Ombudsman as provided by section 28(3) of the OIA.  
 
Please note that this letter (with your personal details removed) may be published on the
