Since 19 May 2009, 85.15% of suppliers and contractors to my Department have been paid in full within 15 days, 13.23% have been paid within 16 to 30 days and 1.62% have been paid after 30 days of receipt of the invoices. In the future, the objective is to ensure that all payments are made within 15 days of receipt of invoices, in accordance with Government policy.
