View answer878. Deputy Mattie McGrath asked the Minister for Health if he will provide a list of all State and semi-State boards that fall under the aegis of his Department; the level of remuneration being paid to each board member, including chairpersons; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4568/21]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 877 and 878 together.
The nomination and appointment process for boards of bodies under the aegis of my Department is set out in legislation. In line with Government policy and Guidelines set out by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform relating to the advertising for expressions of interest in vacancies on State Boards, my Department in conjunction with the Public Appointment Service currently advertises for board vacancies as they arise, where I, as Minister for Health, have nominating rights under relevant legislation. I also appoint members on the nomination of various bodies, again in accordance with the relevant legislation.
The relevant legislation also sets out if fees to chairpersons and board members are payable. The fee rates are set by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. In line with the Code of Practice for the Governance of State Bodies 2016 state bodies are required to publish in their annual report details of non-salary-related fees paid in respect of the Board. Board members are subject to the ‘One Person One Salary’ principle, so the amounts indicated are not paid in all cases.
The table attached below sets out the information you have requested.
