Dear Ian

I apologise for the error in the email below. I note that your requests are different in that one asks for the number of referrals and the other for public complaints. To clarify:

Our reference 1006728 ([email address].) relates to referrals.

Our reference 1006737 ([FOI #436473 email]) relates to public complaints.
