I propose to take Questions Nos. 155 and 204 together.

The interim Health Service Executive identified the requirement for nine national director posts during its analysis earlier this year. Eight of these posts have been advertised with interviews held and an announcement on the successful candidates is due shortly from the interim executive. The approved remuneration level for the posts is as follows: director of national hospitals office —€152,000; director of primary continuing and community care directorate —€152,000; director of national shared services —€117,000; director of population health —€127,000; director of finance —€127,000; director of human resources —€127,000; director of information and communication technology —€117,000; director of change management and organisational development —€117,000. Work is continuing in the interim executive on the job specification for the director of corporate affairs post.
