Details of the expenditure by my Department for the years 1997-2006 on consultancy involving the provision of advice or the drawing up of an external report are set out in the following table. The provision of a service by an external resource, due to lack of internal skills or resources is treated as contracting or outsourcing and is not included in these figures.
