The CEO of the HSE has Instructed a process be put in place a process to make an interim payment in respect of the S39 pay agreement to all Voluntary/Not for Profit S39 agencies funded via both DCEDIY and DOH.
Provision had been made in the Revised Estimates in DoH for 2024 to include the retrospection due for 2023 and for the increased funding for 2024.
The interim payment will be of 70% of the estimated amount due for 2023 based on best available data in respect of each of the organisations (mostly 2022 data) and will be targeted at organisations with a funding level in excess of €250,000 per annum. The broader process to determine the full amounts due to each organisation will commence without delay and organisations with funding up to €250,000 pa will be welcome to apply as part of that process.
