Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to monitor the financial health of Interserve.

Interserve is an organisation identified by the Cabinet Office as a Strategic Supplier to the Government and as such is closely monitored by them via the Crown Representative who provides regular reports on their Financial Status to the Department of Health and Social Care. Currently these reports indicate that Departments should continue to trade with them as normal and should this situation change then Departments will be notified of any action required.
