Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 20 March 2013
513. Deputy Tony McLoughlin asked the Minister for Health the Public Service Agreement proposals that have been developed and sent to the National Implementation Body by the Health Service Executive in relation to the redeployment or release of clerical-administration staff in the HSE to ensure value for money and more efficiency of frontline service provision.

View answerStaff redeployment is a key component of the Public Service Agreement. It has been central in enabling the HSE to meet significant budgetary and staffing challenges in the face of increased demands for services. In November 2012, a Revised Action Plan for the Health Sector was submitted to, and subsequently accepted by, the National Implementation Body. The plan confirms the HSE's intention to continue to pursue staff re-deployment in line with the provisions of the Agreement and in particular in the context of a number of shared services developments.
