Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Consideration and Implications of 2024 Health Services Funding: Discussion

Ms Anne Marie Hoey:

We produce a pay and numbers strategy each year as part of the service planning process and that strategy does allow for flexibility within certain staff categories. As Mr. Gloster said, we cannot get into the detail of a change in one post, for example, but there is flexibility within the pay and numbers strategy for certain clinical grades within the overall scheme of our needs and of affordability.
