My approval to the remuneration package negotiated between the Health Service Executive, HSE, and Professor Drumm was given with the consent of the Minister for Finance, in accordance with the provisions of section 17(5)(b) of the Health Act, 2004. The additional human resources sought by Professor Drumm did not form part of the terms and conditions of his proposed appointment as the first chief executive officer of the HSE.
