Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, to which magazines, journals and newspapers his Department subscribes.
The specific titles to which the Department subscribes are listed in the attached file. For the most part only one copy, or electronic access is acquired – where this is not the case the title is listed more than once.
We do not subscribe centrally to print newspapers.
The Department’s Knowledge Centre is responsible for central provision of library services – including newspapers, periodicals and trade publications. The figures above do not include expenditure on items for retention by individual divisions, responsibility for which was decentralised in April 2010. Details on this expenditure are not available.
