The procurement of goods and services by bodies under the aegis of my Department is an operational matter for the bodies themselves and therefore the information requested by the Deputy is not collated centrally.

For the Deputy's information I can confirm that public bodies under the aegis of my Department seek to ensure that prompt payment is made to all suppliers while at the same time satisfying the requirement, under the Public Financial Procedures, that invoices are correctly certified as being in order for payment.
