Question NW768 to the Minister of Health
04 June 2020 - NW768
Ismail, Ms H to ask the Minister of Health
Whether his department will consider to extend the service of health care professionals, who are due to retire on pension at the end of the month, until after the pandemic has subsided; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
The current legislative framework (Sub section 16.7 of the Public Service Act of 1994, as amended) provides for the Executive Authority with the discretion to retain an employee beyond the retirement age subject to the employee's consent for the maximum period of two years.
It therefore means each employee case legible for retirement will be dealt with on its merits.
END.
