I thank the Minister of State for his reply and respect the fact that the Minister, Deputy Leo Varadkar, consulted the different organisations and the relevant bodies and that the matter is now with the Department for a final decision. The people who have contacted me and many other Deputies are anxious that the Minister make the decision before the Government falls, which may happen in the very near future. The Minister is the darling of the media and will probably be re-elected, but he might not be Minister for Health. It is important before he leaves office that he sign off on the regulations as sought by physiotherapists and that he do this as quickly as possible.
