The Voluntary Health Insurance Board (the Vhi) is the only Commercial State Body under the aegis of the Department of Health. Due to the fact that it operates in a highly competitive and commercial marketplace, the amount spent by the company on consulting services and on ‘business-as-usual’ outsourcing (as differentiated under the Code of Practice for the Governance of State Bodies 2016) cannot be released due to the commercially sensitive nature of the information.
