What work are we doing in that regard? This matter has been raised to me by constituents who work in the field. Many medical professionals have to come here before they are assessed as to whether they pass the standards for language and meet all the requirements. Other countries sometimes allow those assessments to happen in the medical professionals' home countries to facilitate attracting people who are at a level that we want. That way, assessments happen before people have to pay for travel to or accommodation in Ireland. Have we considered that?
