The Health Service Executive is categorised as a non-commercial State Agency, and is listed on the Register of Public Sector Bodies.

As the HSE is under the aegis of the Department of Health, the Department of Health may be better placed to provide the Deputy with any further detailed information in relation to the HSE.

A register of Public Sector Bodies is published by the Central Statistics Office (CSO). This lists all organisations in the State which are considered to be in the general government sector for the purposes of preparing Government Finance Statistics (GFS) and Excessive Deficit Procedure (EDP) reporting for Ireland. It also lists organisations which, while under public control, are not part of the general government sector.

The 2022 version is still provisional and is available online at www.cso.ie/en/releasesandpublications/ep/p-rpbi/registerofpublicsectorbodies2022-provisional/. A full list of all included entities and associated Department/Organisational Body can be downloaded.

As Commercial State Agency employees are not public servants we do not collect the number of employees in these bodies. Individual Departments are better placed to provide the Deputy with more detailed information needed on agencies/bodies under their aegis.
