John McGuinness
Ceist:347 Mr. McGuinness asked the Minister for Health and Children if, further to a recent parliamentary question and due to the lack of clarity in the reply, he will indicate his proposals in relation to a settlement reached between an ex-employee of the South-Eastern Health Board (details supplied) and the board; the reasons this agreement is now being disputed by the South-Eastern Health Board; the further reason the financial amounts outlined in the agreement have not been paid; when the non-financial elements of the agreement will be implemented; the cost to date to the South-Eastern Health Board in legal fees or the amount of the estimated costs prior to taking the case; if it is the policy of the board or his Department to establish these costs before the case or to estimate the costs prior to taking the case; and if the case is taken on an open ended basis regardless of the cost.
