The average time lapse between receipt of invoices for goods and services in the period January to March 2012 in respect of my Department was 13 days. Equivalent information in respect of bodies and agencies under my remit is not collated centrally by my Department. However, quarterly returns details provided both by my Department and by bodies and agencies under the aegis of my Department, in relation to the Government decision of May 2009 regarding reductions in the period taken to pay invoices, are included in the attached tables. These quarterly returns data are also published on my Department's website and include historical data. The next quarterly returns for the period April to June 2012 will be due for publication in the middle of this month.
