650. To ask the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation her plans to resolve the situation which has arisen with the HSA and the Pre-Hospital Emergency Care Council to ensure that all qualified first aid response course instructors here are recognised for workplace training and are permitted to advertise their courses in order to ensure fairness to all involved.

Neither the Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation nor the Health and Safety Authority have imposed any restrictions on either occupational first aid instructors or on health and safety training organisations in relation to the advertising of occupational first aid courses.
As the Pre-Hospital Emergency Care Council is an organisation under the aegis of the Department of Health and Children, I am not in a position to comment on that organisation. The Deputy may wish to address his concerns to my colleague the Minister for Health in that regard.
