Ms Rosarii Mannion:

I wrote to them twice in May, on 5 May and 20 May. They were told about this circular and the FEMPI regulations and requirements as well as Government pay policy - this was the circular of 2013. This was set out clearly. They were asked to provide clarification relating to a number of queries as follows: that all remuneration paid to employees was in accordance with the Department of Health consolidated pay scales; that non-Exchequer sources of funding were not being used to supplement employee remuneration to give rise to rates of individual remuneration, including perks, etc., that exceed Department of Health consolidated pay scales; if unsanctioned payments were previously paid, whether they had ceased and to provide the relevant details; and, where appropriate, in respect of the Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest Acts, if there were any overpayments, that St. John of God would have them addressed.
