Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration
1:05 pm
Mr. Barry O'Brien:
As I have said the pay policy is Government pay policy approved by our colleagues in the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and issued by the Department of Health. Under point No. 12 of actions required it states:
What Mr. Jermyn has advised Mr. Walsh is, "I wish to confirm that SVUH is compliant with this pay policy based on our interpretation of same and legal advice received."
Section 38 providers should provide written confirmation to the HSE that:-
remuneration payable is in accordance with the Department of Health consolidated salary scales; non-Exchequer sources of funding are not used to exceed approved rates of remuneration; the payment of all unsanctioned payments has ceased and the recoupment of any overpayments will be pursued as expeditiously as possible.
