Professor Malcolm MacLachlan:

Yes. If a person wants to be a physiotherapist, occupational therapist or whatever else, and he or she goes to college to do the training, etc., the training would be supported on the same basis as any other undergraduate course, but this would likely also have master's entry courses so that we could train an OT or an SLT, for instance, in two years, as is currently possible in Limerick. There are ways of doing it more quickly. The call that we expect to come out in April will be for the professions that are directly part of the CDNTs. It would be great to have an additional emphasis on the need to address those resources, in particular to disability.
