Rushen MHK asks departments to reveal how many have been answered
More than 500 Freedom of Information requests have been made to government departments since the start of this year.
The Department of Infrastructure received the most – at 129 – with the Department for Enterprise receiving the least at 41.
The figures have been made public after a series of Tynwald questions from Rushen MHK Juan Watterson.
Data shows that between 1 January and 23 August the following number of FOI responses were made:
- Department of Infrastructure: 129
- Cabinet Office: 75
- Department of Education, Sport and Culture: 71
- Department of Health and Social Care: 71
- Department of Home Affairs: 50
- Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture: 46
- Treasury: 46
- Department for Enterprise: 41
Mr Watterson told Manx Radio it’s a good way for the public to apply ‘checks and balances’ but adds the response times tend to vary:
Doctor Strike: Manx Care 'expecting counter proposal'
Nearly 200 vehicles stopped by police over Christmas period
Minimum Wage increases to go before Tynwald in February
Manx Care: 'Our priority is to reduce impact and harm during strikes'
