There are 22 Department of Health employees receiving gross salaries in excess of €100,000. These include the Secretary General, the Chief Medical Officer, five Assistant Secretaries General and fifteen members of staff at Principal Officer or professional equivalent level. All Department of Health staff are based in Dublin.

With regard to the Health Service Executive, I have asked the Executive to collate the data sought as soon as possible and to provide it directly to the Deputy when available.
