Minister for Health

Bodies under the aegis of my Department are required to adhere to public procurement policy and procedures as set out in line with the Code of Practice for Governance of State Bodies and the Office of Government Procurement.

In relation to contracts that were found to be non-compliant with procurement guidelines for the indicated years, the table attached outlines the value, nature of the contract work carried out in each case for the relevant body that have reported non-compliance. All other bodies under the aegis of my Department have advised no findings of non-compliance for the period in question. The HSE will respond directly to the Deputy.
