asked the Minister for Health if he will give details of the personnel by (i) grade (ii) position and (iii) health board who have been sanctioned by his Department for over 50s early retirement; and if he will give an assurance that no vital services will be affected by the implementation of this early retirement scheme.
Written Answers. - Public Service Early Retirement Scheme.
82.
It is a matter for the health boards to apply the early retirement/voluntary redundancy scheme to their staffs in accordance with certain conditions laid down by my Department. Under these conditions applications can be approved only if such approval would not result in adverse effects on essential services.
I have received certification from the health boards that the numbers and grades as set out on the attached schedule have, to date, been given the terms of the over 50s early retirement scheme.
