I propose to answer Questions Nos. 744 and 745 together.

Details of management consultancy firms under contract with my Department and the projects they are working on are set out in the attached table.

It is the policy in my Department only to engage the services of external consultants where highly specialised skills are not available within the Department and, in particular, when such an approach is felt to be more appropriate and cost-effective. 

In relation to firms under contract with the HSE, as this is an operational matter, I have forwarded your query to the HSE and asked that they respond directly to you as soon as possible. 

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.
