The Department and its agency, The Royal Parks, do not routinely maintain statistics on performance of invoice payments analysed by size of businesses. This information can be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
However, the proportion of undisputed invoices for goods and services procured from all suppliers paid within 30 days of receipt by the Department in 2007-08 was 98.4 per cent.
The Royal Parks' performance on similar basis was 96.3 per cent. for 2003-04, the latest year for which information is readily available. Invoice payment performance information relating to later years can be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
