(1)-(4) Information of this nature does not exist in a format that allows for a ready response to these questions, and providing the answers would involve investigation of individual departmental records from 2010 to 2018. Due to the volume of work this would require, it is not considered a reasonable or appropriate use of government resources to provide this information.
