Question:
To ask the Minister of Health, Social Services and Public Safety what was the total spend on hospitality by his Department in 2011/12.

Hospitality spend for the Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety and each of the Department’s Arms Length Bodies, in 2011/12, is set out in the table below. | £’000 | DHSSPS | 49.1 | Belfast HSC Trust | 10.0 | Northern HSC Trust | 12.5 | Southern HSC Trust | 44.0 | South Eastern HSC Trust | 17.4 | Western HSC Trust | 9.0 | NI Ambulance Service | 2.7 | Business Services Organisation | 39.4 | Health and Social Care Board | 51.9 | Public Health Agency | 44.4 | Patient Client Council | 15.9 | NI Fire & Rescue Service | 6.3 | NI Practice & Education Council | - | NI Social Care Council | 18.6 | NI Guardian Ad Litem Agency | 0.5 | NI Blood Transfusion Service | - | Regulation & Quality Improvement Authority | 8.6 | NI Medical & Dental Training Agency | 4.4 | Total | 334.7 |
All organisations across the HSC have comprehensive policies and procedures in respect of hospitality which outline the eligibility and entitlement to hospitality. Due to the wide ranging operational nature of the Department’s ALB’s, hospitality may also include expenditure other than that associated with the provision of refreshments, for example room and/or equipment hire.
