My Department has not engaged any consultancy firms nor incurred any expenditure on consultancy in relation to COVID-19 or any other matters throughout 2020.

As stated in my previous reply, my Department is working with the HSE and their contractors EY, the CSO, and a number of other Departments, to draw together existing data outputs to maximise the insights that can be gained.

This builds on the existing strong work across Government Departments to better inform the cross-Government COVID-19 response.

The objective is to integrate data and insights across a variety of internal and external sources.
