555. Deputy Neasa Hourigan asked the Minister for Health the rationale for working off a clinical-population based framework of accreditation for psychologists who have trained overseas rather than a competencies-based framework, as is preferred in other countries; if he sees this as a barrier to the efficient accreditation of those psychologists who could take up positions in the Irish health system but who are prevented from doing so through not having had clinical placement experience with a particular care group; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
