Several speakers have referred to the desirability of the RCSI remaining in Bahrain. I did not call for it to withdraw from there. I made it clear, in fact, that that was not what I wanted. I am asking for an independent structure to be established to ensure the education provided meets the standards we demand here. As long as the college is in Bahrain, we need structures that protect the reputation not only of the RCSI but also the NUI, the Department of Education and Skills and the Medical Council.
