As provided for in the DPENDR Instructions to HR Managers on Ministerial Appointments, Severance and redundancy payments made by the Department of Health have been made to Ministerial personal staff who have not been appointed by way of secondment or leave of absence from other employments and who, therefore, have no job to which they are entitled to return to on cessation of office of the relevant Minister or Minister of State.
For the years 2019 to date in 2024 the Department of Health have not had exit, redundancy or severance packages of €200,000 or above.
I have asked the HSE to respond directly to the Deputy on this matter. The information in respect of the Non-Commercial State Agencies has been sought, and once collected and collated, this will be provided to the Deputy by separate cover.
