Question:

187 Mr. Allen asked the Minister for Health and Children if he intends to restructure the current medical manpower forum or set up alternative arrangements to ensure implementation of the group's five year plan for medical manpower. [9552/00]

I propose to take Questions Nos. 185 and 187 together.

It is intended that the deliberations of the medical manpower forum will be arrived at unanimously. Some further work is required in order to achieve a consensus. The recommendations of the forum will need to be tested in a representative number of hospitals and it will be necessary to put a structure in place to assess the proposed changes. Accordingly, membership of the forum will be kept under review.
