That is no problem at all. I have the table here. The Deputy may take it away with her after the debate and I will make sure that everyone gets a copy.
I want to correct myself. Clinical measurement physiologists are already employed by the HSE. Sorry, that was my mistake. I will ask the HSE for a note on athletic therapists. My understanding is the same as the Deputy's, that it is not a grade that is currently hired. Therefore, if we want to work with the HSE to create that grade, what are the sensible steps? I imagine the professional body and the universities would engage with the HSE to make a case, maybe with the CHO or a hospital group, to get it going.
