338. Deputy Micheál Martin asked the Minister for Health if the Pre-Hospital Emergency Care Council is proposing to implement a ban on advertising first-aid training courses by self-employed instructors who are not registered as approved contractors even though they are registered with the council; his views on whether a distinction between permitting advertising by one provider and not permitting advertising by another, in circumstances in which both are delivering the same course to the same standards, amounts to a statutory body conferring a special advantage to one at the expense of another; and his views on the fact that no basis has been put forward by the council to establish that a council-registered self-employed instructor who provides training will not observe the required standards and that there is therefore no justification for imposing an advertising ban.
