The Health Act 2004 provided for the Health Service Executive, HSE, which was established on 1 January 2005. Under the Act, the executive has the responsibility to manage and deliver, or arrange to be delivered on its behalf, health and person social services. This includes responsibility for the funding of industrial relations settlements involving health service staff. Accordingly, my Department has requested the acting national director for human resources at the HSE to investigate the matter raised and to reply directly to the Deputy.
