sec.30When no action required

### sec.30 When no action required A public sector entity may decide not to investigate or deal with a public interest disclosure if— the substance of the disclosure has already been investigated or dealt with by another appropriate process; or the entity reasonably considers that the disclosure should be dealt with by another appropriate process; or the age of the information the subject of the disclosure makes it impracticable to investigate; or the entity reasonably considers that the disclosure is too trivial to warrant investigation and that dealing with the disclosure would substantially and unreasonably divert the resources of the entity from their use by the entity in the performance of its functions; or another entity that has jurisdiction to investigate the disclosure has notified the entity that investigation of the disclosure is not warranted. If an entity decides not to investigate or deal with a public interest disclosure under subsection (1) , the entity must give written reasons for its decision to the person making the disclosure. A person who receives written reasons for a decision of an entity under subsection (2) may apply to the chief executive of the entity for a review of the decision within 28 days after receiving the written reasons.
