HC Deb 19 March 2003 vol 401 c846W
Mr. Andrew Turner

To ask the Secretary of State for Health when the most recent internal telephone directory for the Department was published; how often it is updated; and if he will place a copy in the Library. [102030]

Mr. Lammy

The Department's internal directory is maintained as a live database available to all staff and is constantly being updated. It is too detailed to be published in full but information on the Department's structure, organisation and responsibilities, with contact details where appropriate, is available on our website.

As part of ongoing improvements to our website, this information is regularly reviewed and updated. Extracts are published in commercial directories, such as the Civil Service Yearbook, the Whitehall Companion and Health and Social Services Yearbook. The full directory is only available in online format, so a copy cannot be placed in the Library without incurring disproportionate cost.
