Dr. Dympna Kavanagh:

It has already undergone substantial review. All the consultation has been undertaken. Work will gain momentum once the Regulated Professions (Health and Social Care) Amendment Bill completes its passage through the Houses of the Oireachtas. It has been much tied up with that Bill but all of the infrastructure is now in place to move forward with that legislation. We would love to say it will be there tomorrow but we will keep on with our plan of work. The committee can see the urgency we have to move forward. We will proceed with a skill matching programme and have everything ready and prepared once the Bill comes through.
