Minister for Health (Deputy James Reilly)

The Voluntary Health Insurance Board is the only commercial semi-state company under the aegis of this Department. The post of CEO is currently vacant. Following an unsuccessful recruitment campaign to appoint a CEO to the VHI, an existing employee agreed to take up the position on an acting up basis without any increase in his remuneration package.
