I propose to take Questions Nos. 594 and 596 together.

My Department is a non-delegated Department and as such, pensions and lump sums of retired staff are calculated by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and paid by the Paymaster Generals Office.

Accordingly the information sought by the Deputy on staff retired from my Department will be included in the answer to this Question from my colleague, Mr Brendan Howlin T.D. Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform.

I have asked the HSE and other bodies under the aegis of my Department to provide the Deputy with the corresponding relevant data for their organisations.
