Delays in the Registration of Nurses and Midwives: Discussion
9:30 am
Dr. Maura Pidgeon:
Yes, on the basis of the revised spending plan approved by the board at the last board meeting. We have to get approval from the Department of Health to replace permanent staff, so they have been approved, plus one. The Department of Health, acknowledging the difficulties within the organisation and the significant impact of delays, has provided for three additional posts.
