To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) for which of his Department’s programmes the total cost to date of employing consultants has surpassed £500,000; (170613)

(2) for which programmes his Department employs consultants at a cost of more than £100,000 per annum.

Mr. Bradshaw

The Department does not collect information on consultants in the format requested. To do so would attract disproportionate cost.

A new system will be introduced in April 2008 called SHOWA, which will be able to gather such information for the Department.
