Third Level Education

============================================================

Richard O'Donoghue (IND), Limerick County

My question asks that in view of the many skills and positions shortages within the health sector, would it be possible to look at a three-year academic degree, with a fourth year to be completed in practice? This would alleviate the lengthy waiting lists for children in respect of speech therapy, child psychology, orthodontics and many other areas.
