Medical Practitioners Bill 2007: Committee and Remaining Stages
12:00 pm
Mary Harney (Dublin Mid West, Progressive Democrats)
I am advised we cannot go beyond the directive's provisions. It must be implemented.
The Senator used the example of cosmetic surgery and a person not properly qualified in another member state coming to practise in Ireland. The directive specifies that any doctor who has a basic qualification and internship can practise in Ireland on a temporary basis. It is more a European issue than an Irish one.
