With regard to board fees, 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 €10,000 when they take up their appointment and a daily rate of €845.00.
The approved annual rates in respect of those Boards to which I have made appointments and where board fees are payable are:
Food Safety Authority of Ireland, Irish Blood Transfusion Service Board, Pharmaceutical Society of Ireland, National Treatment Purchase Fund, Health Research Board, Medical Council, Mental Health Commission.
Health & Social Care Professionals Council (Chair only), Health Insurance Authority.
It should also be noted that existing board members, and members appointed in the future are given the option to waive the related board fee on a discretionary basis.
