This is not a matter for the Minister for Health as medical training on the diagnosis and management of diseases is provided at undergraduate level by the medical schools which are approved by the Medical Council and which has developed guidelines relating to professionalism in the undergraduate curriculum. Postgraduate medical training is provided by a range of Postgraduate training bodies which must meet Medical Council postgraduate accreditation standards.
