Proceeding contribution from Earl Howe (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 13 February 2012. It occurred during Private notice question on NHS: Management Consultants.


NHS: Management Consultants

My Lords, the Health and Social Care Bill and all related programmes require input from a wide range of civil servants, lawyers and other experts. Management consultants have been assisting Monitor, the developing Commissioning Board and others on specific issues. Consultancy spend has reduced very substantially since before the election. We have been transparent around spend of over £25,000 and on hospitality received by Ministers and civil servants. We have also answered all Parliamentary Questions and FOI requests on these issues, showing our commitment to openness.
