(1) The timing of payments is set out in the service agreement between the Department of Health (DOH) and the non government organisation (NGO) concerned. Service agreements require the NGO to issue an invoice and for DOH to pay within 10 working days, unless there is an agreed variance to this clause. DOH policy is to make payments in accordance with the terms of the service agreement.
