Dear Comhairle nan Eilean Siar,

As in the past, I would like to make an FOI request for all payments to suppliers who provided a service in Health and Social Care from July - Dec 2021. As a minimum, please make sure to include the date, value and recipient of each transaction. Please also provide details on the procurement category of each transaction if you have it & any additional descriptors.

This would include all suppliers falling under the categories :-
