The Pre-Hospital Emergency Care Council (PHECC) is the independent statutory body with responsibility for standards, training and education in pre-hospital emergency care.  This includes assessment of equivalence of professional qualifications in pre-hospital emergency care obtained from institutions outside the State. Accordingly, I have asked the PHECC to respond to the Deputy on this matter directly, as soon as possible.
