Freedom of Information Data
244. Deputy Dara Calleary asked the Minister for Health the number of freedom of information requests received by his Department in each of the years from 2013 to 2017, inclusive; the average time it took his Department to complete the requests; the number of requests to his Department for these years that ran beyond the deadline for the request; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6894/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraTime spent dealing with Freedom of Information Requests forms part of the normal duties of officials in my Department and the time spent processing such requests is not monitored separately.
My Department endeavours to comply with the legislation in relation to the timeframe for completing requests (i.e. 20 working days from the date of receipt of the request). Information on the number of requests that may not have been completed within the timeframe is not available.
