Health and Social Care Professionals Bill 2004: Committee Stage.
1:00 pm
Camillus Glynn (Fianna Fail)
If we proceed to lump physiotherapists with physical therapists in the Bill, a situation may arise where physical therapists may treat patients on a basis that is not inconsistent with their qualifications. All hell would break loose in such a scenario and we must be careful to avoid that. There seems to be a strong similarity between the two qualifications but there is a difference. We must be careful not to put something into law that might not stand up in the fullness of time.
