The chief executive of St Vincent's Hospital Group, Nicholas Jermyn, is receiving total remuneration of close to €300,000, it has been revealed.

In a letter to Health Service Executive director general Tony O'Brien yesterday the hospital group said Mr Jermyn was receiving a public salary of €136,282 in addition to a privately funded payment of €136,951 and a privately sourced car allowance of €19,796. St Vincent's Hospital Group said his total remuneration package was €292,669.

The figures suggest that, based on information in the public domain, Mr Jermyn is the State's highest-paid health service administrator. Mr O'Brien receives just under €185,000 a year.
