Dear Enquiry (Hospital Authority),

Thanks very much for your spreadsheet, however this does not answer my questions above.

For your dept/ health dept to put together the graphs, tables and other statistics, they must be in possession of the information in order to be able to answer my questions above.

I look forward to your further information in this matter.

Thanks very much,

Yours sincerely,
