I wish to inform the Deputy that as the person in question was not an employee under the Health Service Executive or under the former Eastern Regional Health Authority or the former Area Health Boards this matter does not fall under my jurisdiction. However, the majority of employees of voluntary hospitals who have twelve months' continuous service are covered by the Unfair Dismissals Acts 1977-2001. Should they be aggrieved by the process followed during a dismissal they are within their rights to seek redress via the statutory provisions of employment law.
