PQ 746
746. Deputy Cathal Crowe asked the Minister for Health the status of the proposed EU Common Training Framework (CTF) for physiotherapists; if her Department or CORU (the Health and Social Care Professionals Regulator) has taken a formal position on its introduction ahead of the European Commission's public consultation deadline on 23 June 2026; the steps being taken to ensure that any regulatory framework protects high professional standards and patient safety without creating disproportionate automatic registration barriers for Irish citizens studying physiotherapy in other EU member states who intend to return home to work in the HSE or private healthcare sector; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
