To ask the Minister for Health if he will provide details of all of the voluntary organisations here in receipt of grants under Section 39 of the Health Act; if he will indicate the hierarchy of such organisations and the amount the chief executive officers or equivalent are receiving in salaries per annum; if he intends to question these salary levels in the public interest; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I have referred this matter to the Health Service Executive for direct reply. Organisations may receive grants from the HSE under Section 39 of the Health Act 2004 to provide a service similar or ancillary to a service that the HSE may provide. Staff in such independent organisations are not public servants and are not specifically subject to the pay scales approved for public servants.
