There are approximately 550 grades in the public health service and they cover a wide variety of roles and functions. For example, these grades include drivers, nurses, consultants, CEO, health care assistants, management grades, and porters. Therefore, an average salary would not take into account the varying roles and salary levels for each grade. However, the Exchequer Pay and Pensions Bill for health for 1997 to 2007 is outlined below.
| Exchequer Pay & Pensions Bill for Health 1997 to 2007 | ||||||||||
| 1997 | 1998 | 1999 | 2000 | 2001 | 2002 | 2003 | 2004 | 2005 | 2006 | 2007 |

| 2,216 | 2,462 | 2,834 | 3,265 | 4,025 | 4,643 | 5,217 | 5,603 | 6,249 | 6,746 | 7,226 |
| Excludes the Department of Health & Children |
I wish to advise that a list of all the grades in the public health service with the numbers employed in each (for the years 1997 to 2008) will be forwarded to the Deputy, along with a copy of the salary scales for each of the aforementioned years.
