Written answers

Minister for Health

An independent radiation therapist review has been agreed under the auspices of the WRC. Discussions are ongoing between the parties to finalise a Terms of Reference and appoint an independent chair. Outcomes of the review will be given due consideration by the Department of Health.

As this is an ongoing Industrial Relations process it would be inappropriate to comment further at this stage.
