Health professionals amendment bill
Deputy John Brassil asks about finalising the Health and Social Care Professionals (Amendment) Bill, especially physiotherapy registration. The Taoiseach says the issue is resolved and hopes the Bill will complete Report Stage by year’s end.
Under promised legislation, I want to ask the Taoiseach about the finalisation of the Health and Social Care Professionals (Amendment) Bill 2017, which deals with the whole area of physiotherapy and physical therapy registration.
Comment on this
I understand that is going to Report Stage. I spoke to the Minister for Health about this in the past couple of weeks and I think that now, after some time, we have a resolution in regard to the issue relating to physiotherapists and physical therapists. As it is at Report Stage, I hope it will be done by the end of year.
