Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

I am particularly concerned about the wording in some sections of the legislation on the intent regarding midwives. The Minister of State referred to nurses and midwives prescribing, yet section 26 and other sections do not refer to midwives and refer only to nurses. We need absolute clarity that we are legally providing for nurses and midwives prescribing.
