Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 2 February 2005
199 Dr. Devins asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children when it is proposed by the Health Service Executive to apply the terms of the Protection of Employee (Fixed-Term Work) Act 2003 (details supplied). [2928/05]
View answerThe Health Act 2004 provided for the Health Service Executive, which was established on 1 January 2005. Under the Act, the executive has the responsibility to manage and deliver or arrange to be delivered on its behalf, health and personal social services. This includes responsibility for the application of employment legislation to its employees. Accordingly, my Department has requested the acting national director of human resources at the HSE to investigate the matter raised and to reply directly to the Deputy.
