Health consultancy services expenditure

Department of Health and Social Care did not have the information requested.

Dear Department of Health,

Having already accessed the monthly published payments on your
website, please can you provide me with further information of an
itemised list of projects/contracts on health consultancy
services/projects over £500 between financial years:

April 2014-March 2015
April 2013-March 2014
April 2012-March 2013

For each of these financial years, please also give a brief
indication of what the payments were for (contract name).

For each of these contracts, please state the supplier name.

I refer to the term 'consultancy' with regards to 'consultancy on
the health sector' in areas including but not limited to:
- evaluating health care policy including their impact on health
care delivery and spending
- evaluating clinical practice including their impact on health
care delivery and spending
- projects aimed to improve the efficiency and sustainability of
health care systems
- health economics and outcomes research
- measurement and understanding of patient reported outcomes
- health technology assessments (appraising medical technology for
NICE approval)
- statistics in health and healthcare

Please supply this in a excel/cvs format, thank you.

Yours faithfully,

Katie M

Dear Department of Health,

Apologies for the delay in reply, to clarify "monthly published payments on our website" - the DoH departmental spending over £25000 see link:
https://www.gov.uk/government/publicatio...

Additionally I appreciate it may breach section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act to identify the information I have requested for the time periods (April 2014-March 2015, April 2013-March 2014, April 2012-March 2013) - therefore I ask for only the data from the financial year April 2014-March 2015.

Look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours faithfully,

Katie M
