1265. Deputy Conor D. McGuinness asked the Minister for Health the total spend on consultancy firms by each State agency under her Department's remit, broken down by the allocation to each named consultancy firm, for each of the past 15 years, in tabular form. [30815/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Department's total expenditure on management consultancy and external professional services for each of the past 15 years, is as set out in the attached tables.
It is the policy in the Department to only engage the services of external consultants where highly specialised skills are not available within the Department and when such an approach is considered to be more appropriate and cost-effective.
Details for other bodies under the aegis of my Department are operational matters for the bodies concerned and the Deputy should contact the relevant Director/CEO/Registrar directly.
