I would like to get the Minister of State's thoughts on whether the Bill is Brexit-proofed. We have a lot of excellent healthcare professionals here who have been trained in the UK. They may be Irish citizens who have trained and have come back or they may be UK citizens but they hold UK qualifications recognised here, or in some cases perhaps not recognised here. Post Brexit, what is the thinking on their status here? It is probably not within the remit of this Bill, but if it is relevant, if there is any reciprocity with the UK in any of this, does it have any impact on healthcare professionals registered or qualified here who are working in the UK?
