Question:573. Deputy Eamon Scanlon asked the Minister for Health his plans to introduce better pay and job security for assistant psychologists and recognise this as a HSE post in itself; if the short-term half year contracts will be ceased; his further plans to cease unpaid voluntary assistant psychology in order that psychology graduates can be employed to address the mental health and waiting list crisis here; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
