Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Health and Social Care Professionals Act 2005: Draft Regulations
9:00 am
Ms Deirdre Walsh:
Yes. Each profession has a registration board and, as I outlined in my opening statement, those boards have been consulted. They represent the practitioners and the professions. In the case of dietitians, its professional body also wrote to the Minister seeking to have it protected. It is something that they have sought. If it is not protected, the ambiguity means that people other than their profession operate which is an issue for the public.
