The Minister had not actually mentioned the physiologists, many of whom are working within the health service at the moment. However, it is specifically about how we can achieve a situation where athletic therapists are recognised - I am not saying regulated - as an important profession within the health service and how provision can be made for the employment of people in that category. I would appreciate if the Minister could send me a note on that because there seems to be some concern on the part of the universities and, obviously, the graduates themselves because they cannot access work at the moment within the public service.
