Health and Social Care Professionals Bill 2004: Committee Stage (Resumed).
2:00 pm
Fergal Browne (Fine Gael)
I move amendment No. 10:
In page 23, after line 46, to add the following new subsection:
"(2) The Competition Authority shall be invited to periodically review the bye-laws made under subsection (1).".
The purpose of the amendment is to ensure that these professions do not become closed shops like others, particularly one which is receiving bad publicity in a new television programme on Monday nights. We want to ensure that this Bill will not over-regulate and lead to a reduction of competition which would be bad for everyone concerned.
