Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many contracts NHS bodies entered into with Alliance-Boots in each of the last five years; what services were provided for in each such contract; and what the total value was of each such contract.

The Department does not hold information on contracts held by National Health Service trusts and NHS foundation trusts with individual suppliers.

The Department does not hold information on contracts for NHS clinical services. Decisions on providers of NHS clinical services are for clinical commissioning groups at a local level, or NHS England at a national level, to take, ensuring that their decisions are fair, transparent and proportionate, and will secure the best quality services for their patients.
