Vol. 556 No. 3

Written Answers. - Departmental Appointments.

Bernard Allen

Ceist:

478 Mr. Allen asked the Minister for Health and Children if he will make a statement on the future of the Postgraduate Medical and Dental Board. [20578/02]

The Postgraduate Medical and Dental Board is established under the Medical Practitioners Act, 1978. I am currently considering nominations for appointment to the Board.

The Postgraduate Medical and Dental Board is one of the bodies which will be audited as part of the audit of functions and structures in the health system, as promised in action 114 of the health strategy, Quality and Fairness, a Health System for You. I do not wish to prejudge the outcome of this audit and therefore am not in a position to make any statement on the future of the board.
