The issue raised is a matter for An Bord Altranais, the statutory body responsible for the regulation of the nursing and midwifery profession.

Part V of the Nurses Act 1985 provides for fitness to practise procedures. The Minister for Health and Children has no involvement in fitness to practise inquiries, other than to receive notification from the board in accordance with section 46 of the Nurses Act, where appropriate, upon completion of the process.
