Mr. David Hughes:

In regard to the scholarship, there is one area where it could be of benefit but in which it has only worked to a limited degree because the numbers allowed to participate have been very small, namely, people who already work in the health service. There is a scholarship scheme for people training to be nurses in the care delivery area, although the funding in this regard has been reduced. There is potential in terms of the number of people who could progress successfully under a scholarship in the mature existing health care occupational group area.
