HC Deb 10 March 1997 vol 292 c104W
Mr. Simon Hughes

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what proportion of bills were paid by the National Blood Authority within 30 days of its receiving them in the past three years. [18790]

Mr. Horam

The information is not available centrally in respect of 1993–94 or 1994–95. The National Blood Authority's published accounts for 1995–96 show that 80 per cent. of invoices were settled within 30 days.
