1663. Deputy Mairéad Farrell asked the Minister for Health the position regarding section 56 and section 59 workers; if they will receive pay restoration in line with their section 39 colleagues; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15019/21]

Minister for Health

The WRC agreements reached in October 2018 and December 2020 in relation to pay restoration refer only to organisations which are funded under section 39 of the Health Act 2004. This means that agencies who are funded under Section 56 of the Child and Family Agency Act 2013 are not part of this agreement.

Any information sought on section 56 agencies funded under the Child and Family Agency Act 2013 should be directed to the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth.
