Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 8 September 2020
1227. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Health the pre-1995 general nurse pay scales and allowances in comparison to the post-1995 nurse pay scales and allowances for general nurses; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21651/20]
View answerThe public health sector does not operate a pre-1995 rate and post-1995 rate in the way that the civil service does.
Employees in the public health sector have always paid the full rate of PRSI, and as such, are considered to be PPC employees (Personal Pension Contribution).
Rates of pay and allowances for all public health sector employees, are within the Department of Health consolidated salary scales, which are published on the internet and are publicly available at the following location https://www.gov.ie/en/publication/c30735-1-january-2020-consolidated-pay-scales/
