Dear FOI Officer,

Yes, I am still doing my research on this. Given that 2023 has already ended, may I request an updated reference period? Instead of January 2017 to August 2023, may I request data from January 2017 to December 2023?

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,
Rowena
