Amharc ar fhreagra422. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Health the extent to which incremental salaries exist and are available to all staff within the health services; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17278/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 421 and 422 together.
All rates of remuneration paid in the public health service are set out within the Department of Health Consolidated Salary Scales which are publicly available to view here: www.gov.ie/en/publication/b556a-application-of-1-october-2021-pay-adjustments/
Increments, where available are achieved on an annual basis once all attendance/performance requirements are met. Exceptions to standard annual incremental progression are set out in Guide Notes 6 and 7 in the 'Guide to the Scales' on page 3 of that online document.
