Shane Ross

Question:

664 Deputy Shane Ross asked the Minister for Health if he will list all appointments to State boards and agencies made by him since he came to power; the persons appointed; the boards and agencies to which they have been appointed; the remuneration details of each appointment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7824/12]

Written answers

Minister for Health (Deputy James Reilly)

Where fees are approved, there are four categories payable to chairpersons and directors of Non-Commercial State Agencies. The "one person one salary" principle provides that public servants acting as chairpersons or directors of state-sponsored bodies do not receive additional remuneration for undertaking such duties. Members of Boards are entitled to claim travel and subsistence as governed by the Travel and Subsistence Circulars issued by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. Instead of the fees mentioned above, members of the Hepatitis C and HIV Compensation Tribunal are paid a briefing fee of €17,526 when they take up their appointment and a daily rate of €992.68.

The approved annual rates in respect of those Boards to which I have made appointments and where board fees are payable are:

Category	Chair	Director
1	€29,888	€14,963
2	€20,520	€11,970
3	€11,970	€7,695
4	€8,978	€5,985

The information regarding remuneration for the members detailed below is currently being collated and will be forwarded to the Deputy when finalised. The following Board appointments have been made by me since 9th March 2011:
