Written Answers. - Hospice Staff.

Gerry Reynolds

Question:

223 Mr. G. Reynolds asked the Minister for Health and Children the titles of posts funded directly in 1998 by his Department in Our Lady's Hospice, Harold's Cross, Dublin 6; and if he will make a statement outlining the number of posts in each category. [11599/99]

The identification of staffing requirements and the deployment of staff within the overall financial and employment levels set by my Department is a matter for the management of each health agency.

Each year my Department collects information on the number and category of staff working in each health agency. The following is the return for Our Lady's Hospice for the health service personnel census of 31 December 1997, which is the most recent. The 1998 census is in the process of being compiled. All numbers supplied are expressed in wholetime equivalants (w.t.e.'s).
