Written Answers. - Health Service Executive.

  262. Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children if payments over and above salaries have been made to members of senior management of the former health boards who took up positions in the Health Service Executive; the individual payments and the cost; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [30262/05]

  Ms Harney:In addition to their salaries, staff may be eligible to receive payments such as travel and subsistence payments, performance-related awards and the like. I am not aware of any payments to senior management staff in the former health boards who took up positions in the Health Service Executive that are not in accordance with their agreed terms and conditions. If the Deputy has incidents in mind, he might let me have the details, and I will contact the chief executive officer of the Health Service Executive on the matter.
