Public Accounts Committee
Health Service Executive - Review of Allowances
2:40 pm
Mr. Barry O'Brien:
Yes. The proposal we have put forward in our action plan is an internal shared services for HR in the health system. As one can imagine, there is a significant number of stakeholders involved. It would not be a short-term project . It would take a couple of years for it to fully materialise that all public health providers would be the end-service users of a shared service model. Currently in the HSE, all our recruitment is done on a shared service basis. All pensions and personal administration is being managed through a shared service model.
