253. To ask the Minister for Health if retired nurses are included in the pay deal offered to nurses recently; if they will be impacted by the proposed deal; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10298/19]

The recent Labour Court Recommendations issued on foot of industrial action taken by members of the nursing organisations are still being considered by the parties. It would be inaccurate to describe these recommendations as a 'pay deal'. Management has met with representatives of the INMO, SIPTU and the PNA to consider the recommendations and their implications in detail. As this engagement is still ongoing, it would be inappropriate to comment on how a particular cohort of nurses such as retired nurses, may be impacted at this time.
