Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
National Ambulance Service: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Robert Morton:
There may be from outside the country who are registered with PHECC. At the moment, the only people we have visibility on are those who may be on a panel with the national recruitment service. As we get vacancies, we will express offers to that panel, and if somebody comes in with an advanced paramedic registration, which is possible, or they may have some other level of qualification - South African, for example - that may be equivalent, once they go through the recognition-of-qualification process with the Pre-Hospital Emergency Care Council, they are eligible to go through a privileging process with us.
