To ask the Secretary of State for Health pursuant to the answer of 11 July 2007, Official Report, column 1553W, on Departments: public expenditure, what items of specific guidance have been issued to departments in the last five years on the co-ordinating of particular exercises. (153526)

Where we have worked with HM Treasury on issues that involve many different parts of the Department, an official within the Department is typically asked to coordinate the work. This includes a large number of small exercises, as well larger issues such as spending reviews. It would not be practical to trace everyone of these exercises over the last five years.
