HSE will not agree to make appointments to many replacement positions until Minister authorizes figure for the total number it can have on the payroll following criticism of recruitment levels for last year

The standoff between the HSE and Department of Health centres on what should happen to more than 2,000 posts either filled or committed to last year by the HSE but for which there was no funding. Photograph: iStock

The Coalition leaders are expected to look at options for dealing with these unfunded positions to which staff have been appointed. Some sources suggest the Government could retrospectively provide official funding for these posts; continue a freeze on recruitment until the number of new positions authorised catches up with the level of unfunded posts; or that a middle-ground position could be found allowing some recruitment while the backlog is addressed on a phased basis.

Mr Donnelly said in the Dáil last week that the current recruitment embargo was a “coarse measure” but was needed. “We do not want it to be in place and I am working with the Government to resolve it as soon as I can.”
