PQ 292
292. Deputy Michael Murphy asked the Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment if he is aware that families caring for persons with complex medical needs may be unable to obtain an employment permit for a non-EEA healthcare assistant because the employer is a private household rather than a registered healthcare provider; if he will clarify what alternative mechanism exists in such cases; and whether he will review the current arrangements to ensure that families with genuine, certified care needs are not left without an avenue to recruit suitably qualified carers.
