I propose to take Questions Nos. 100 to 103, inclusive, together.

The Chief Executive Officer of the Health Service Executive is eligible, under his contract of employment, for an annual bonus of up to 25% of his basic salary. In addition a number of senior administrative personnel in the HSE are eligible for an annual performance-related award under a scheme recommended by the Review Body on Higher Remuneration.

In accordance with normal governance arrangements, the Board of the HSE is responsible for the operation of the CEOs bonus and PRA Scheme. My Department has, accordingly, asked the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the HSE to have the issues raised by the Deputy considered and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
