‘Rehab not subject to public pay policy’

Organisations and charities such as the Rehab Group which receive over €250,000 of taxpayer funding should adhere to public pay policy, Health Minister James Reilly told the Dáil yesterday.

He was responding to Sinn Féin’s Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin who asked why the HSE has not requested from Rehab details of its CEO Angela Kerins’ annual salary, which was reported to be in the region of €230,000 in 2011.

A special meeting of the Rehab Group board is due to go ahead on Monday when it will “consider” revealing Ms Kerins’ renumeration package.
