Róisín Shortall
Ceist:309 Ms Shortall asked the Minister for Health and Children if his attention has been drawn to the fact that outstanding pension increases due to health board pensioners since June 2000 have still not been paid in many cases; if he will take steps to ensure that this matter is dealt with immediately; if interest will be paid to pensioners in view of the long delay; if they will be further compensated for their additional tax liability in view of all arrears being paid in the current tax year; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
