Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children

Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Minister for Health

11:00 am

Ms Laverne McGuinness:

In that regard, under the Haddington Road agreement our first port of call is to reassign somebody into a post. Consequently, if a post becomes vacant, a person can be reassigned to a post up to a radius of 45 km away but not at an increased pay level. If there is an increased pay level, it will be done through an expressions of interest process but there actually are not any. It normally involves replacement on a post-for-post basis without any increase in pay.
