On Friday 9 February, an agreement was reached between the Department of Health, the HSE and the Trade Unions. The agreement is that the HSE will carry out an analysis to establish, with supporting evidence, the following:

- Whether, when and to what extent reductions in pay rates were applied during the crisis in each relevant organisation;

- Whether, when and to what extent restoration of pay reductions has happened;

- Identify the financial implications for each organisation, taking account of all sources of funding, associated with addressing the issues identified and propose an appropriate plan for phased resolution in each case.

The HSE will commence a data gathering exercise immediately, initially in relation to an agreed list of organisations. The data gathering exercise should be completed as early as possible. An interim report is expected by the end of March 2018.
