The Health Sector Consolidated Salary Scales, which are prepared and issued by my Department, set out the rates of pay and allowances for staff in the public health service. These scales were revised in July 2013 to take account of the reductions provided for under the Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest Act 2013. Public service pay policy requires that the salary scales must be strictly adhered to and no employee should receive remuneration in the nature of pay and allowances of an amount greater than the amount prescribed. The remuneration arrangements for health service personnel are subject to approval by the Minister for Health, with the consent of the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform.

I have asked the HSE to respond directly to the Deputy with the more detailed information requested.
