Liam Twomey (Wexford, Fine Gael)

I move amendment No. 6:

In page 6, after line 40, to insert the following:

"(iii) paramedical staff—

(I) who are in the employ of the State, either directly or indirectly through the Health Services Executive or a Local Authority, and

(II) whose position could be described as one that would require the ability to prescribe medicinal products from time to time, and

(III) who have undergone such training as may be deemed necessary by the Minister from time to time,".

Amendment No. 6 relates to paramedical staff. Does the legislation relate to the paramedical staff being trained in this country at present?
