I would like to thank the Deputy for the question raised.

The Deptuy will recall my answer of 6 May 2015 to his question in relation to this matter. My answer indicated that as this is an operational matter, I have referred this question to the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland (NMBI) for direct reply to the Deputy.

If you have not received a reply from the NMBI, please contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with them.
