Dear Mr McErlean,

Thank you for your request for information on where you can find the
actual legislation for the proof of vaccine/negative test for entries into
pubs etc.

While you have submitted a valid FOI request, as set out in Section 8 of
the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), there is provision within the FOIA
Section 45 Code of Practice for Public Authorities to deal with requests
outside the FOIA as normal course of business. Therefore, under this
provision, to facilitate a speedier resolution to your query I am
providing you with a normal course of business response.

Please note that the Executive Office does not hold the information you
seek.

As advised previously the Department of Health (DoH) has responsibility
for Health and Social Care, Public Health and Public Safety and takes the
lead in responding to the Covid 19 health pandemic; in regard to your
request I note that the DoH publish Covid 19 legislation on their website
[1]COVID-19 - Legislation | Department of Health (health-ni.gov.uk)

Should you wish to make a Freedom of Information request to DoH their
email address is – [2][email address]

I hope you have found this response of assistance.

However, should you require a formal FOIA response reiterating the above,
please let us know as soon as possible so a response may issue within FOIA
statutory deadlines.

Regards
