View answerUnder the Health Act 2004, the HSE has responsibility for operational issues which includes the determination of the terms and conditions of employment for its employees. I advised the Deputy recently that the HSE are dealing with this matter in accordance with the HSE HR policies and procedures and that the HSE continues with its efforts to bring the matter to a conclusion which will involve direct engagement with the employee.
