The Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland (NMBI) is the independent, statutory organisation which regulates the nursing and midwifery professions in Ireland. In this regard, I would like to advise you that the setting of fees to be paid by nurses and midwives is a matter for the NMBI. Therefore, this is an operational matter and it is appropriate that it should be dealt with by the NMBI. I have referred the Deputies' questions to the NMBI for attention and direct reply.

If you have not received a reply from the NMBI within 15 working days, please contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with them.
