Officials in my Department made enquiries with the Medical Council recently in relation to this case. I understand that this application is currently being assessed and that the Council was proposing to contact the individual in relation to finalising the registration process.

It is acknowledged that there can be lengthy processing times for certain application routes following receipt of the required documentation. However, the Medical Council has advised that additional resources have been added to assist with such applications and it is envisaged that further improvements to assessment times will be seen shortly.
