“Please provide the following information relating to the use of the Pullman Hotel and the 
Stamford Plaza Hotel as Covid-19 Managed Isolation Facilities: 
1. all internal rules, guidelines and processes followed for selecting the above-named
hotels as Managed Isolation Facilities.
2. all communications with the above-named hotels relating to their use as Managed
Isolation Facilities, including but not limited to their health and safety plans.
3. any enquires and complaints you received with regards to health and safety of using
the above-named hotels as Covid-19 Managed Isolation Facilities, and your responses to

The Ministry of Health believes the information you have requested is better aligned with the

decided to transfer your request to DPMC under section 14 of the Act. You can expect a 
response from DPMC in due course.   
Under section 28(3) of the Act you have the right to ask the Ombudsman to review my decision 
to transfer your request. 
Yours sincerely
