An MHK has questioned the system of oversight and scrutiny of contracts awarded by the Department of Health and Social Care.

Treasury Minister Eddie Teare said he had faith in both parliamentary committees as well as internal processes.
But Mr Cretney said the two committees involved, the Economic Policy Review Committee and Public Accounts Committee, could be seen as biased:
