Mulvihill to raise physiotherapy fears

THE chair of the GAA’s Medical, Scientific and Welfare Committee is to raise the Association’s decision to limit physiotherapy reimbursement as part of its player injury scheme with GAA president Christy Cooney.

Dr Danny Mulvihill told Irish Medical Times that limiting the scheme to post-operative physiotherapy only was made without any medical input and was taken on financial grounds by the administrators of the insurance scheme.

It is understood the cost of the scheme has climbed from €6.4 million in 2006 to €9.2m last year.
