Chapter 4: Statistics

Section I - Public Bodies - 2012

The absence of key statistics means that I am not in a position to comment on most of the tables which are usually published in Section I – Public Bodies.

Tables about which I cannot comment are:

• Overview of FOI requests dealt with by public bodies
• FOI requests dealt with by public bodies and subsequently appealed
• FOI requests received - by requester type
• Overview of FOI requests dealt with by public bodies
• Analysis of FOI requests dealt with by public service sector
• FOI requests received by civil service departments/offices
• FOI requests received by other bodies
• Fees charged

Given that statistical returns were made as normal by a number of Agencies, I can provide details in the usual manner under the following table headings. For ease of comparison, I have retained the numbering convention used in the tables in previous Annual Reports.

• Table 7: FOI requests received by local authorities
• Table 8: FOI requests received by the HSE
• Table 9: FOI requests received by voluntary hospitals, mental health services and related agencies
• Table 10: FOI requests received by third level education Institutions
