I propose to take Questions Nos. 200 and 224 together.

I have approved a review of the decision to abolish payments to student nurses during their fourth-year pre-registration rostered placement. The nursing unions have been invited to contribute to the review process. My Department has advised the unions that submissions will be accepted up to 3 June 2011.
