Vol. 562 No. 1
404 Mr. McGuinness asked the Minister for Health and Children if an agreement was reached between the SEHB, SIPTU and PNA regarding the payment of an enhanced community allowance; and if other boards have reached such an agreement. [5658/03]
I have made inquiries of the South-Eastern Health Board and the South-Eastern Health Board has not made an agreement with the PNA or SIPTU regarding the payment of an enhanced community allowance.
Furthermore, on consultation with the Health Service Employers Agency, I can confirm that no enhancement of this allowance has been negotiated with the aforementioned unions at a national level.
