To ask the Secretary of State for Health pursuant to the answer of 6 January 2014, Official Report, column 148W, on NHS: management consultants, where records and details of consultancy contracts are held.

NHS London strategic health authority (SHA) was abolished on 1 April 2013. Contracts which continued after this date were transferred to the organisation which became responsible for performing the function in question. Records pertaining to non-clinical contracts which terminated before 1 April 2013 are likely to have transferred to the ownership of the Department, along with other corporate records of the SHA.

The archived corporate records of NHS London exist as over 1 million hard copy and electronic records. These are currently stored in off-site paper archives and on archived server software respectively, which are currently held by NHS England on behalf of the Department.
