The attached document details the framework agreements used by my Department since 2022.

I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the deputy directly, as soon as possible.

Details for other bodies under the aegis of my Department are operational matters for the bodies concerned and the Deputy should contact the relevant Director/CEO/Registrar directly.

In relation to direct drawdown, the original Framework CAN value captures all prospective future drawdowns by clients.
