To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will place in the Library a copy of the names and addresses of each organisation that supplied goods and services to his Department in 2007-08, based on the purchase order data held in the Department's financial database. (222086)

The purchasing system used by the Department until 30 June 2008 did hold names and addresses of its suppliers of goods and services, but this information is not easily distinguishable from the information relating to payments to patients, for professional services and to seconded staff. It is therefore not possible to place the information requested in the Library without incurring disproportionate costs.
