3204. Deputy Barry Heneghan asked the Minister for Health the reason some people who are in receipt of a survivor’s pension under the HSE pension scheme do not receive their monthly payment until approximately two weeks after it is due; if the payment schedule will be reviewed to ensure pensions are paid on time each month; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [60507/26]

As this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
