The person concerned has exhausted his entitlement to sick pay under the terms of the departmental sick leave scheme as he has availed of over 365 days sick leave in the past four years. As I explained in my reply to Question No. 1411 of 25 January,2006, the terms of the departmental sick leave scheme are of general application and they cannot be altered to suit individual circumstances. Accordingly, it is not possible to authorise additional payment under the departmental sick leave scheme in this particular case.
