Dear Scottish Government,

I am extremely disappointed to have to get back in touch due to the ridiculous level of delays on this request. I have had little to no communication regarding this and when I will get a response, breaking the FOI law very clearly.

I would appreciate a prompt response and the information requested.

Yours faithfully,
