Questions on Promised Legislation (31 Jan 2018)

Bernard Durkan: On the same issue, I support the sentiments of my colleague, Deputy Frank O'Rourke. I ask the Minister for Health to defer the signing of the proposed document until such time as a full evaluation of the necessary work has been completed and the necessity for chiropractors to have unimpeded access to their own X-ray services is accepted, as has been the case.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Section 39 Organisations: Discussion (31 Jan 2018)

Bernard Durkan: I agree with the previous speakers. It is important that the Department comes before the committee in order to answer the legitimate questions that the committee has a right to put.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Section 39 Organisations: Discussion (31 Jan 2018)

Bernard Durkan: I wish to continue on similar lines. The staff of the section 39 organisations are not regarded as public servants but I presume they received cuts to their salaries and wages. Is that acknowledged? I presume it is. There is a bit of a shady area here in regard to how the cuts were imposed on those involved in the section 39 organisations. Was there a bloc cut to the grant right across...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Section 39 Organisations: Discussion (31 Jan 2018)

Bernard Durkan: Surprise, surprise - no. I asked whether an impression had been created by the HSE that section 39 organisations might not qualify for pay restoration. Was such an indication given in the course of the last year when other organisations througout the country were in negotiations or preparing for the restoration of pay? It is a natural supposition. Has the HSE given any thought to the...
