Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 13 January 2021
760. Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Health if any employee of his Department or HSE employee above the minimum point of the grade VIII salary scale has declared an interest regarding a company (details supplied); if such an employee has any role regarding aeromedical services operated within the State; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44688/20]
View answerA civil servant who occupies a designated position for the purposes of the Ethics in Public Office Acts must complete and furnish an annual statement of interests, i.e. of any interest held by the person or by his or her spouse or civil partner, child or child of spouse, which could materially influence the person in or in relation to the performance of his or her official functions.
Having reviewed the most recent returns made by civil servants in designated positions in the Department of Health, no person has declared an interest in the company concerned.
I have also referred this question to the HSE for direct reply in respect of its own employees.
