Statistics on complaints of and non-compliance with the Code on Access to Info.
Dear Office of The Ombudsman
I would like to have the following information pursuant to the Code on Access to Information, specifically of complaints regarding Code on Access to Information requests made to your department:
1. The total number of complaints received and concluded by the Ombudsman concerning alleged non-compliance with the Code
2. The number of concluded cases where a government department or public body was explicitly found to be in breach of the Code or had not fully complied with the provisions of the Code
3. The number of times the Ombudsman had issued formal recommendations advising a department or other body to disclose or re-examine the release of withheld information following a finding of non-compliance (in accordance with the Code)
4. The number of individual times that the departments or bodies refused to act upon the Ombudsman's recommendations on the respective Code on Access to Information complaints
5. The number of times the Ombudsman had submitted a report to the Chief Executive under the Ombudsman Ordinance due to a department's failure or refusal to implement a recommendation regarding an Access to Information complaint
Please provide me with these statistics dating as far back as such records have been made. I am happy to take the numbers in any aggregated form but I would be grateful if you could present them in PDF or spreadsheet rather than tabular format as I cannot read it properly.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Yours faithfully
J A Wilson

Dear Office of The Ombudsman,
My apologies, I would like to clarify that my request itself is made pursuant to the Ombudsman Ordinance, not the Code on Access to Information. Thank you.
Yours faithfully,

Dear Office of The Ombudsman,
More than 10 working days have passed since the Office confirmed receipt of my request made on the 27th July.
I understand that the Office of the Ombudsman is not itself subject to the provisions of the Code. However, I believe it to be in the interest of good administration that the Ombudsman should strive to respond to requests for information in a timely manner. In fact, it is the policy of the Ombudsman (as on your website) to process such requests and respond within 10 working days.
I would appreciate your prompt attention to this matter.
Yours faithfully,
James A. Wilson
