The information requested by the Deputy is outlined in the table below. The Programme for Government commits to a fundamental reform and restructuring of the health service, the ultimate objective of which is to ensure equal access to healthcare based on need, not income, and this requires greatly increased and enhanced outputs right across my Department. Since 2009, my Department has lost 12.5 Principal Officers and 24.3 Assistant Principals. These limited promotions were therefore essential against the background of the major health reform programme that we have now embarked upon. Promotions or the award of acting up allowances require the sanction of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.
