Cancer Treatment

"My hon. Friend is coming up with some practical suggestions and creative ways of supporting such families. Does he agree that it is important that the NHS thinks sensitively and creatively about how it can support aftercare once Kaleigh and her family come home?..."

Cancer Treatment

"I am really glad to join friends this afternoon to pay tribute to Tessa’s work. I remember from the last Labour Government how, with Tessa and others, we kept our sanity even when the difficulties were on our own side—some things never change. We were accused of plotting at our …..."

Mental Health and NHS Performance

"In the past few weeks, we have seen pressures in the NHS that, to a certain extent, the Secretary of State has acknowledged. Given that we are not yet in the midst of a very desperate cold spell, and given that we are not in the throes of a flu …..."

Written Question
Department of Health: Billing
Thursday 25th February 2016

Asked by: Caroline Flint (Labour - Don Valley)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what proportion of his Department's invoices for goods and services supplied by (a) private companies and (b) small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are completed on time; and what proportion of the (i) number and (ii) value of contracts between his Department and private companies are held by SMEs.

Answered by Jane Ellison

Whilst the Department holds information in respect of contracts and supplier type it would require a full search through all supplier records to satisfy the full detail of the request which would incur a disproportionate cost.

However, the Department does publish quarterly information on prompt payments to our suppliers (within 5, 10 and 30 days) on gov.uk at:

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/department-of-health-prompt-payment-of-suppliers-data

Also, the Department publishes information relating to SME procurement expenditure in line with government policy and the latest financial years 2013-14 and 2014-15 are available on GOV.UK at the following link:

"I hope that I have not given the impression that good work is not happening and good services do not exist. In my constituency not long ago, our district nurses were supporting treatment and care in the home for people who had problems with their legs and needed them bandaging. …..."

NHS and Social Care Commission

"I understand some of the hon. Lady’s points and have heard contributions about all aspects of health this afternoon. The central point of the motion is funding. The truth is that no political party in the past 40 or 50 years has put before the electorate a clear framework of …..."

NHS and Social Care Commission

"My hon. Friend is right: we do support a publicly funded NHS, but it has also been Labour party policy in social care that we think people should make a contribution. The problem with the politics is that we cannot come to a defined space where we can all agree …..."
