I think all the members who are lining up for questions would be interested in hearing the Minister address that issue in a few minutes. We will then deal with Deputy Cullinane's questions. Does the Minister have a note on the updated position relating to student nurses and midwives or does he want to address it later? The committee is interested in hearing his answers. The matter has been discussed privately by the members and we wrote to the Minister and Department about it. If the Minister has a note on the updated position regarding pay for student nurses and midwives, it would be helpful. I will certainly put a couple of minutes aside for him if he wishes to address it now.
