Does the Minister accept that the Government's efforts to promote prompt payment by large corporations will be severely undermined if they cannot put their own house in order? Will he therefore promise to investigate reports that many NHS trusts are failing to pay their contractors and suppliers within 30 days—far beyond the 14 days that the Government have promised?

I hope you will back the governments efforts' on this matter.
The compaines who are due payments in the 14 days, should then send in a bill every week with the highest interest rates they can!! They will I'm sure soon get paid. even if they have to go to court to get the monies owed them.
