Minister for Health (Deputy James Reilly)

As information relating to any rehiring of former public servants by the HSE or by bodies providing services on its behalf is a matter for the Executive, the Parliamentary Question has been referred to the HSE for attention and direct reply to the Deputy.

The information concerning the State agencies under the aegis of my Department is being collated and will be forwarded to the Deputy as soon as possible.
