There are no commercial State bodies operating under the aegis of the Department of Social Protection. However, I did answer the question in relation to non-commercial State bodies within the remit of my Department on 13th June last [27970/23].

The statutory bodies (all of which are non-commercial) operating under the aegis of my Department are the Citizens Information Board, the Pensions Authority, the Pensions Council and the Social Welfare Tribunal.

Neither the Pensions Council nor the Social Welfare Tribunal incur expenditure on consulting services; their operations are wholly carried out by existing resources provided from within my Department.

Details in relation to the total spend for the year 2022 on consulting services and on ‘business as usual’ outsourcing as differentiated under the Code of Practice for the Governance of State Bodies 2016 for the Citizens Information Board and the Pensions Authority is set out in tabular format below.
