Written answers

Minister for Health

There were no civil servants in my Department on a career break at the time of the Haddington Road Agreement who did not return to positions in the Department following the end of their career breaks. The information relating to staff of non-commercial State Agencies under the remit of my Department is being compiled and will be forwarded separately to the Deputy. The HSE has been asked to reply directly to the Deputy in respect of its staff.
