There have been no discussions between the Department of Health and Children and the professional bodies representing chiropodists. However, officials from the Department of Health and Children have had a number of meetings with officials from the Eastern Regional Health Authority in an attempt to resolve the issue of the imposition of the levies by some of the chiropodists who are participating in their chiropody scheme.
