Dear hnzOIA,
What I have asked for is minutes that have any reference "that is related in any way" to the whistleblower release of the covid vaccine data.
You have responded with an apparently narrowed scope to "specific references to the whistleblower case". Therefore please confirm that there no minutes that fit the scope that was requested, i.e. those which are "related in any way"... "to the whistleblower release of the covid vaccine data."
Yours sincerely,
M Bell

Dear hnzOIA,
You are now overdue, please respond promptly before end of business tomorrow, else I will certainly exercise my right to make a complaint to the ombudsman and will be asking them pointedly to drill down on the apparent equivocation of words and hence the potential obfuscation of this information. It defies belief that this issue has not been discussed at executive team meetings, and as such minuted in those meetings.
Yours sincerely,
M Bell

Complaint made to the ombudsman on the basis that they changed the scope of the request without consulting me, apparently to create a pretext to refuse the request.
