The review was undertaken by Maura Quinn
The Health Minister is expected to publish a review of the abandoned proposed secondment of former Chief Medical Officer Tony Holohan to Trinity College.
The report was commissioned in April last year.
The review was undertaken by Maura Quinn, the former chief executive of the Institute of Directors.
Her report was submitted to Health Minister Stephen Donnelly last June.
Today the department said the review would be published shortly.
Last March Dr Holohan announced he was stepping down from the role of Chief Medical Officer to take on a new role as Professor of Public Health Strategy and Leadership at Trinity College Dublin.
However, controversy developed when it emerged that it was an open-ended secondment, which the Department of Health would fund at the outgoing CMO's annual salary.
However in April last year Dr Holohan announced that he was not proceeding with the secondment and would retire from his role as CMO.
