Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Quarterly Update On Health Issues: Discussion
9:00 am
Mr. Jim Breslin:
From what I recall people were told to look at their cost base across both pay and non-pay areas at the same time as was happening in the public sector but there was not a definitive proposition put to them that it should be X% in regard to different salary bands. That does present the issue then in terms of restoration unlike the public service where there have been agreements with everybody around the table and they get either partially or fully restored based on a particular day and a particular percentage. I think the sector will have approached this in somewhat different ways in different circumstances and the resolution to it is probably likely not to be as uniform as in the public service.
