Dear Department of Health,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Department of Health's handling of my FOI request 'Use of Remdesivir in Hospitals'.
I believe that the Hospital Authority should keep records of the drugs issued, for which conditions and the patient outcome. I'd be grateful if you could look further into this matter, to discover the truth.
Many thanks.
