The State Laboratory outsourced a limited number of non-routine, low frequency analytical tests where it would be impractical and more costly to have the testing facilities in-house. The cost of services outsourced in 2011 was €120,933.93 (2011) and to the end of June 2012 was €62,806.23.
No further outsourcing costs were incurred in respect of the public service provision responsibilities of my Department over the past 12 months.
