Dear Julie,

Thank you for your OIA Request (below). I apologise for the delay in responding - we had a number of administrative staff taking leave over December/January, and it took longer to gather the data than we had anticipated.

I see the note after your query asks that updates not be sent as pdfs. I hope it's OK to send the final response as a pdf though, as that's the only format I have.

I trust the attached answers your query.

Regards
Sarah.
