228. To ask the Minister for Health if his attention has been drawn to the fact that a resource centre (details supplied) has not received an increase in funding since 2010; and if he will provide pay restoration to 2020 levels for this group [31823/20]

The agency referred to by the Deputy is funded by the HSE under Section 39 of the Health Act, 2004.  

In line with Workforce Relations Commission (WRC) agreement, a  process is underway in relation to the pay restoration of approximately 250 Section 39 funded agencies. Meetings took place in July and September led by the WRC on pay restoration. I understand that, despite the ongoing engagement at the WRC, it has not been possible to reach an agreement to date on this issue.
