Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many staff have contributed to his Department's input to the Spending Review.

Answer: Mr. Bercow: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many staff have contributed to his Department's input to the Spending Review. [68692] Mr. Lammy: The Spending Review has covered the breadth of the Department's spending programmes in varying degrees. As such, the Review has required the involvement of a range of staff from across the Department. The Spending Review is closely linked to the Department's on-going work programme and it is not possible to estimate precisely how many staff have been involved.
