Employees of the Meath, Adelaide incorporating the National Children's Hospital (Tallaght), are superannuated under the Voluntary Hospital Superannuation Schemes and therefore any retirement benefits are payable in accordance with its' scheme rules. The administration of that scheme was devolved to the Health Service Executive in February 2007. My Department has had no discussions, correspondence, agreement or approval in respect of potential retirement benefits in relation to the individual concerned.
