The HEA issued a call for proposals from higher education institutions for the establishment of a BSc in Podiatry programme. A panel of independent external assessors has been set up to evaluate the proposals received. It is expected that the HEA will report to me on the recommendations of the panel before the end of July 2007. I will then make a decision on the matter in consultation with the Minister for Health and Children.
