Question 612: To ask the Minister for Health the total expenditure in 2010 on ICT, including staff costs, support and maintenance services, hardware, software, and external resources, including consultancies, contractors and service providers and in all agencies under the aegis of his Department.

Total ICT expenditure in 2010 on ICT in the Department of Health (formerly Department of Health & Children) was €1.965m. This figure contains expenditure for a number of smaller agencies that my Department provides shared ICT services to, including the former Office for the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs which has since been incorporated in the newly established Department of Children and Youth Affairs.

The requested details in relation to the agencies under my Department's aegis are not readily available as it is an operational matter for the agencies themselves and my Department does not routinely compile or hold this information. I am referring the Deputy's question to the relevant agencies including the Health Service Executive for its attention and direct reply to the Deputy.
