Dear Mrs Van de Pol,

Thank you for your Application for Access to Information dated 20 February
2022, which the Department of Health (DH) passed to the Hospital Authority
(HA) on 21 February 2022 for handling.

The subject department at the HA Head Office has advised that with the
latest direction given by the Food and Health Bureau, the DH should be the
single source for releasing figures of deaths and confirmed cases related
to COVID-19. Hence, the HA is not in a position to process your request.

If you have any questions about this reply, please do not hesitate to
contact me.

Yours sincerely,

Katie Chan(Miss)
