Question:

587. Deputy David Cullinane asked the Minister for Health if staff and management at sections 38 and 39 HSE funded organisations were subject to FEMPI legislation in respect of pay, pensions and allowances; if any exemptions are allowable; if any exemptions were sought or given; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22066/16]

Written answers

Minister for Health

Employees of section 38 funded agencies are public servants and are bound by the provisions of the FEMPI legislation. Employees of section 39 funded agencies are not public servants and are not, therefore, subject to the FEMPI legislation.

No exemptions have been sought from the FEMPI legislation for employees in section 38 funded agencies.
