PQ 336
336. Deputy Ken O'Flynn asked the Minister for Health the policy and operational basis on which the HSE seeks the retrospective recovery of specialist qualification allowances from staff who received the allowance in good faith over an extended period, where the allowance had been approved and paid by management; to confirm whether a formal appeals or waiver process exists for such cases; to outline the legal and HR guidance issued to hospitals on retrospective clawbacks; and to state whether her Department will instruct the HSE to suspend such recovery efforts pending a review of long-standing cases involving administrative error rather than staff fault.
