In the 2015 annual report 4,700 staff were categorised as managerial. However, the HSE subsequently changed the classification by removing grades 7 and 8 from the managerial category. The real figures I received in April show there are now 5,400 managerial staff in the HSE. Ms Mannion can give me all of the figures she likes. When questions were tabled on this issue, grade 7 and 8 staff who had been classified as managerial in 2015 were removed from the managerial category and classified as administrative staff. The figures show that the number of staff at senior management level has increased by more than 700.
