The estimated expenditure on printer consumables for the Department of Social and Family Affairs and its Agencies, other than the Combat Poverty Agency and the Family Support Agency, is set out in the table below. Replacement toner is supplied as part of the general maintenance contracts for the Department's photocopiers and the cost of toner is not identified separately. However, as the main bulk of these maintenance costs relates to the supply of replacement toner, the full photocopier maintenance costs are included in figures supplied in the following table.
The Combat Poverty Agency was integrated with the Office for Social Inclusion in July 2009 to form the Social Inclusion Division within the Department of Social and Family Affairs. However, due to the temporary relocation of its former staff, the relevant information for the Combat Poverty Agency is not currently accessible. This information will be transmitted to the Deputy as soon as soon as possible. Information relating to the Family Support Agency is currently being compiled and will be forwarded to the Deputy shortly. Future purchases of printer consumables will be guided by the advice received from the National Procurement Service.
