Health and Social Care Professionals Bill 2004: Committee Stage.
4:00 pm
Geraldine Feeney (Fianna Fail)
I agree with Senator Henry. I oversaw the rewriting of the ethical guide for the Irish Medical Council and the doctors' scope of practice is clearly outlined. I can understand, however, Senator Ryan's point. Doctors would refer to the relevant disciplines rather than take on the work themselves. They are only too glad to know there is a supplementary profession to back them up.
