Ms Rosarii Mannion:

We are very excited about this development and are working through it. It is still in draft but we hope to get advertising in May or June of this year. Given the requirement is so pressing, we have found by and large the existing system is very welcoming of the potential for an apprenticeship. This will be a level 9 qualification and is coming through a regulator. CORU is involved and is party to our discussions on that. We are moving. It is a broader question.
