Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 29 September 2004
904 Mr. Connaughton asked the Minister for Health and Children when an award will be finalised for a person (details supplied) in County Galway in relation to a High Court decision regarding a patient assault case when they were employed by the Eastern Health Board; the reason it has taken so long to finalise the award; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraMatters relating to the management and staffing of specific health agencies are the responsibility of the relevant chief executive officer. However, I have contacted the Northern Area Health Board and I understand that the only outstanding issue in this case is the calculation of pension entitlements. The individual concerned is in receipt of a pension from the Northern Area Health Board and recent pay increases will lead to the revision of benefits. This increase is currently being calculated and any arrears due will be issued shortly.
