Written answers

Minister for Health (Deputy James Reilly)

Agencies under the remit of this Department regularly use the Public Appointments Service (PAS) to fill vacancies. My Department requests the agencies under its remit to refer the filling of vacancies to the PAS in the first instance. It will continue to promote PAS on an ongoing basis.
