I thank the Deputy. Management of the payroll bill is an issue for the Accounting Officer in charge of the HSE Vote.

It is not something that I have day-to-day involvement in. The Estimates we are discussing today relate to the Public Appointments Service, PAS, and do not involve direct payments to employees outside of its own body. Of course, the issue of pensions relates to the Vote on superannuation and retired allowances. I am happy to come back to the committee or to help it obtain any information it needs, but I do not have a detailed briefing on the breakdown of overtime payments to employees across the HSE.
