Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 October 2012
641. Deputy Dara Calleary asked the Minister for Health if he will intervene in a case concerning a former Health Service Executive employee (details supplied) in County Mayo who is disputing a pension issue; if he will order the HSE to release the information requested by the Ombudsman for Pensions in relation to the case; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [46144/12]
View answerWhere an employee/former employee of the Health Service Executive is not satisfied with a decision in relation to superannuation benefits, the person may make a formal complaint/seek an internal review under the HSE Internal Dispute Resolution (IDR) arrangements. If the individual is not happy with the determination provided under the IDR process, the matter may be referred to the Pensions Ombudsman. There is no provision for an appeal to the Minister in this process, and as such, I have no role in the matter.
