Question 195: To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children the reason an agreement to increase the pay of workers with the National Learning Network negotiated in 2001 has not been implemented by the Health Service Executive north east region and FÁS; the reason a further ruling in 2005 by the Labour Court recommending that the increase be paid has been ignored by both the HSE and FÁS, five years after the increase was negotiated; her views on whether the HSE have acted honourably in this situation; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

The National Learning Network (NLN) is a private sector Company which is contracted by the Health Service Executive (HSE), amongst others, to provide services to people with disabilities. The contractual arrangement between NLN and the HSE is a matter for the parties themselves. However, I understand that arrangements are currently being made to address the matter referred to by the Deputy.
