Vol. 466 No. 4

Written Answers. - Report of Review Body.

Robert Molloy

Ceist:

79 Mr. Molloy asked the Minister for Finance whether he has received the report of the review body on higher pay in respect of the remuneration of hospital consultants; and if so, when he received it; the reason for the delay in publishing this report; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11486/96]

Minister for Finance (Mr. Quinn)

The report of the review body on the remuneration of hospital consultants was received by me in mid-February 1996.

As indicated in my reply to a similar question by Deputy Keogh on the 12 March 1996, a decision on publication will not be made until the Government has an opportunity of considering the report. Such an opportunity has not yet arisen.
