TASC：2025年医疗保健助理文献综述（英文版）

This brief outlines key challenges facing Ireland’s Healthcare Assistant workforce and highlights urgent policy opportunities.

Regulation is fragmented, with no unified registration system or mandatory qualifications, resulting in inconsistent pay, conditions, and standards, particularly between public and private providers.
