Mr. Soley

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what has been the change in the number of full-time and part-time jobs by gender immediately prior to and immediately after tendering of each support service contract tendered by the four health boards since 1990. [26000]

Mr. Moss

The detailed information requested could be obtained only at disproportionate cost. However, it is known that there was not necessarily a loss of jobs within the health and personal social service as a result of tendering. A number of contracts were awarded in-house and other staff moved to different posts within their organisation.
