Ceist:360 Dr. Lee asked the Minister for Health when payment to the former employees of the Hospitals Trust from the unclaimed prize fund will be made; and the method of assessment to be used.
Written Answers. - Unclaimed Prize Fund.
As the Deputy is aware the Government have decided that these funds should be used for the benefit of former employees, pensioners and others, of Hospitals Trust (1940) Limited. The necessary amending legislation is being prepared with all possible speed.
The Deputy will appreciate that until such time as the necessary legislation has been enacted I will not be in a position to indicate what method of assessment will be adopted to determine amounts payable in individual cases.
