The Hospitals Trust Board do not employ staff on a contract for service basis. The secretarial services are provided on an agency basis by the Bank of Ireland.
So far as the remaining bodies referred to in the Question are concerned, I understand that in each case the number of employees is very small but as these bodies do not furnish the Minister for Health with information about persons they employ, I am not in a position to give the Deputy precise information in relation to them.
