Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 19 July 2016
694. Deputy David Cullinane asked the Minister for Health the cost of implementing a pay increase to all those employed under the remit of his Department post-1 January 2011 of 2%, 4% and 5%; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23508/16]
View answerThe cuts in Public Sector pay that were introduced under FEMPI legislation are being restored on a phased basis to all grades who are officers of my Department in accordance with instructions from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform (DPER). This restoration is centrally negotiated and decided by DPER. There is no distinction in pay rates between Officers of this Department who entered the service pre or post 2011.
I have asked the HSE and NCSSBs to respond directly to the Deputy regarding their agencies.
