Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 June 2017
1142. Deputy Sean Sherlock asked the Minister for Health the number of organisations classified under section 39 that operate in line with the knowledge of the Health Service Executive; the number of staff employed by each organisation; and the difference in pay scales for each staff member in each organisation in each of the years 2011 to 2016 and to date in 2017 [27001/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraThere are 1,667 agencies currently being funded by the HSE under Section 39 through Grant Aid Agreements and Service Arrangements. Staff employed by Section 39 organisations are not HSE employees and, therefore, the HSE has no role in determining the salaries or other terms and conditions applying to these staff. Accordingly, any arrangements offered by each service provider in relation to its employees terms and conditions, including rates of pay are a matter for these organisations. As such, the Executive would not retain the detailed information requested by the Deputy in relation to the pay scales for each member of staff in each of these organisations.
