View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 610 and 611 together.
My Department is working to finalise the transposition of the medical provisions of the Directive and officials will submit final proposed regulations to me soon.
Officials from my Department met with the Chiropractic Association of Ireland (which represents most chiropractors) earlier this year regarding the new regulations. There are no discussions currently under way.
I expect to be in a position to sign the new regulations shortly.
