Written Answers. - Consultancy Contracts.

Willie Penrose

Question:

108 Mr. Penrose asked the Minister for Health and Children his views on whether there has been a significant increase in the use of private consultancy contracts by each of the health boards in the past five years; the number of health boards which have engaged or utilised private consultants in each of the years since 1995; the costs to each health board of each consultancy; the tendering process used by each health board; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6392/00]

The information requested by the Deputy is not readily available in my Department. However, my Department has written to the chief executive officers of the health boards requesting them to compile the information and to send it on direct to the Deputy as soon as it becomes available.
