I am advised that the amounts paid by my Department to external legal teams, HR specialists, accountancy firms and consultants in 2022 are specified in the table below.
From time to time, my Department commissions experts to provide technical reports or advice on specific issues. While the providers of these services may describe themselves as consultants, their work is not classified as consultancy services and is not funded from my Department's Administrative Budget.
