Known issues
Occasionally, non-media or general public calls are mistakenly directed to the Press Office, which can lead to delays or redirection. To prevent this, ensure that only accredited journalists or media professionals use this line. If you are not a member of the media, it is recommended to contact the general correspondence unit for assistance. This will help streamline the process and ensure that your enquiry is handled by the appropriate department. Additionally, providing clear and concise information during your call can facilitate a more efficient response.
