Is the HSE considering being able to? It was a recommendation of our report. It seems logical. Everyone has a PPS number. Many medical graduates, for example, nurses, are leaving college and trying to get employment. If staff have taken incentivised leave from the public service and are returning as agency staff, they are receiving public sector pensions and public sector wages simultaneously. This is an issue and it has been clear Government policy not to do it.
