Public Accounts Committee

Health Service Executive - Review of Allowances

2:40 pm

Mr. Barry O'Brien:

No. We have figures for the total amount of money spent on agency staff and overtime. We have figures, but I do not have them with me today, because we were preparing specifically for the purpose of the committee agenda, the referencing of the allowances reviewed by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. We can certainly provide information on the amount of money spent on the level of overtime and agency staff in regard to nursing, medical and in each category of work. We can provide that information immediately to the committee tomorrow.
