2012 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 38 - Health
Vote 39 - Health Service Executive
Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration
12:55 pm
Mr. Barry O'Brien:
Yes, but the audit clearly identifies the fact that prior to the establishment of the HSE in 2005, many of the section 38 agencies did business directly with the Department. Since the HSE was established, it has been pursuing a policy of standardising pay and remuneration policies across the section 38 organisations.
