115 Ms McManus asked the Minister for Health his views on job sharing in the health services; and the number of health service workers who are currently employed on a job-sharing basis.
My Department's Health Services Personnel Census indicates that there were 3,248 persons employed at the end of December, 1991 in a job-sharing capacity in the health services. A measure of the success of the job-sharing scheme, which was introduced in 1985, is the fact that there were a thousand more persons employed in a job-sharing capacity at the end of 1991 than at the end of 1989.
