908. To ask the Minister for Health the reason an application by a person (details supplied) for registration is not yet completed in view of the need for suitably qualified and registered nurses in Ireland at present and considering that the application was submitted several months ago; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The NMBI introduced its new online registration system, MyNMBI, in September  2020 which meant that a paper application, such as the one submitted  in this case, could not be processed.  The applicant was advised of this by NMBI  and  then submitted an online qualification recognition application, a necessary first step for those applicants who trained outside Ireland, on 7 January 2021.

The NMBI notified the applicant, on Friday 29 January 2021, that their qualifications recognition application was successful and advised them to submit a registration application as soon as possible. The NMBI has advised my Department that it will process this application quickly on receipt.
