Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Merron on 8 December (HL12316), in the most recent period for which figures are available, (1) what proportion of, and (2) how many, invoices for contracts carried out for the NHS in England are not paid and must subsequently be resubmitted.

This information is not held centrally as NHS England do not collect supplier payment information on behalf of National Health Service trusts.
