The McHugh report has required careful consideration including briefing and examination by a range of Departmental officials across multiple areas. The time to consider properly the report's contents and recommendations has been necessary, and I would like to reassure that every possible effort is being made to progress this matter.

Officials in my Department remain fully committed to facilitating and supporting student nurses and midwives in their education, and will continue to engage with stakeholders and representatives on these matters, including on the report when it is published shortly.
