Dear Ministry of Internally Displaced Persons from the Occupied Territories, Labour, Health and Social Affairs of Georgia,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Ministry of Internally Displaced Persons from the Occupied Territories, Labour, Health and Social Affairs of Georgia's handling of my FOI request 'Reimbursement of lithium and clozapine in Georgia from 2014-2025'.

The Ministry of Internally Displaced Persons from the Occupied Territories, Labour, Health and Social Affairs of Georgia is late in providing public information.

By exceeding the time limits established by law, the public institution has violated its obligation to provide public information immediately or no later than within 10 working days.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: http://askgov.ge/en/request/reimbursemen...

Yours faithfully,

Ita Fitzgerald
