My Department issued sanction for the final phase of the benchmarking increases and the 1.5% Sustaining Progress with effect from 1 June, 2005 to the interim Health Service Executive on the 3 June, 2005. The sanction did not include any requirement to withhold benchmarking increases to staff of St. Loman's Hospital, Lucan Road and neither my Department nor the Health Service Executive Employers Agency are aware of any situation at local level which resulted in the withholding of the payments.
