Deputy,
In response to your question, the Department of Health's total expenditure from Subhead A7 - Consultancy for the year-to-date 2023, is set out per the table attached.
It is the policy in the 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.
