1453. Deputy Nicky McFadden asked the Minister for Health the number of staff that have exited the health service since 2011 through retirement and voluntary redundancy; the cost savings accruing from this reduction; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37897/13]

The detailed information sought by the Deputy in relation to staff retirements is a matter for the HSE and, accordingly, I have asked the HSE to respond directly to him.
