Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children

Delays in the Registration of Nurses and Midwives: Discussion

9:30 am

Ms Ursula Byrne:

The HSE has indicated to us in the last two days that it is putting on more courses in the coming months. As I mentioned earlier, a number of private hospitals have applied to be approved as sites for adaptation programmes and their applications are currently under assessment. We expect decisions to be reached and issued very shortly. It will then be up to those private facilities to decide on the number of programmes they run and how many participants they take. It should increase the capacity.
