As the Deputy will be aware, I directed that a longer-term independent review of student nurse and midwife clinical placement allowances take place. The review was conducted by Mr Sean McHugh and while the HSE cyberattack delayed its progress, Mr McHugh submitted his report for my consideration on the 6^thof August. The DoH is currently reviewing the report and Mr. McHugh’s recommendations. When this review is completed, the Department will then confirm its approach to this matter, including questions over implementation and publication.
