Ceist:

266 Mr. J. Bruton asked the Minister for Education and Science if, further to Parliamentary Question No. 168 of 3 March 1999, the expert groups established to examine issues relating to the paramedic profession have reported to him; the outcome of the groups examination; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11923/99]

Minister for Education and Science (Mr. Martin)

I understand that the expert group, established in accordance with Labour Court recommendation 15515 to examine issues relating to certain paramedic grades, including speech therapists, is expected to report to the Minister for Health and Children by the end of 1999.
