Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 23 February 2017
329. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Health the cost per year for the past three years for the retrieval and return of hard copy files stored at off site locations; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9309/17]
View answerMy Department has a contract with a records management company for storage of the Department’s inactive files along with retrieval services for these files.
The contract is due for renewal now and my Department is engaged with the Office of Government Procurement in seeking tenders from suitable providers. As this process is ongoing it would not be appropriate at this point, to release the details requested. However, as soon as the new contract is signed, I will arrange for the information to be provided directly to the Deputy.
