Dear Mr Marks,

I refer to your request of 25 April 2018 for information relating to non-MAPAS UTAS applicants to the MBChB programme for 2015-2018. Unfortunately consultations necessary to make a decision on the request are such that a proper response to the request cannot reasonably be made by today’s date. Accordingly the University has extended the time limit for your request until 6 June 2018 under s 15A of the Official Information Act. You have the right to seek an investigation and review of this refusal by way of a complaint to an Ombudsman.

Yours sincerely

Rebecca Ewert
