Question:

[15448/12]

Written answers

Minister for Health (Deputy James Reilly)

The Rehab Group is an independent organisation grant-aided under Section 39 of the Health Act 2004. Staff in such agencies are not public servants and are not subject to public service pay rates and terms and conditions. Therefore, I have no function in the matter raised.
