Public Accounts Committee

Health Service Executive - Review of Allowances

2:40 pm

Mr. Barry O'Brien:

We have a table for the action plan for the public service agreement for 2013 and a major initiative to develop a specific HR shared service for the entire health system. We employ in excess of 100,000 people, these are significant numbers to develop a shared service HR model. That will entail a process of detailed discussion and negotiation with the trade unions representing staff.
