Vol. 519 No. 6

Written Answers. - Health Professionals.

Theresa Ahearn

Ceist:

100 Mrs. T. Ahearn asked the Minister for Health and Children the recommendations made by the expert review group in examining the position of paramedics and social workers; the plans, if any, he has to implement the recommendations made; and the action he will take to avert industrial action by paramedics and social workers. [13359/00]

The report of the expert group on various health professionals was received in my Department in April 2000. It has since been considered and costed and a memorandum for Government is being prepared at present, which will be presented within the next fortnight.

I am not aware of any industrial action being threatened by social workers or any other health professional grade.
