Questions (306)

Enda Kenny

Question:

357 Mr. Kenny asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason that the Western Health Board has not made to retired radiographers back payments granted to them under the expert review agreement; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the payment was made by the Eastern Regional Health Authority six months ago; when he expects those payments to be made; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17242/04]

Written answers

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Martin)

Responsibility for the payment of increases to radiographers arising from the expert group on radiography grades rests with the chief executive officer of each board. My Department has therefore asked the chief executive officer of the Western Health Board to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and reply to him directly.
