The Government has decided to pay a Christmas Bonus of 100% of the weekly rate to recipients of the Rehabilitative Training (RT) Bonus payment, with payment to be made as early as possible in December 2019. Accordingly, the Health Service Executive (HSE) are authorised to arrange the payment to current recipients of the RT bonus.
As the issue is now a service matter, I have arranged for the question to be referred to the HSE for direct reply to the Deputy.
