Members of An Bord Altranais have been appointed. The appointment of members to the Postgraduate Medical and Dental Board is awaiting nominations from the appropriate bodies. I have the reconstitution of the other bodies mentioned in the Deputy's question under consideration. Issues relating to possible revision of the future role or format of the organisation need to be determined in some cases and in other instances, the selection of individuals for any one body may affect decision on the membership of others. However, I would hope to have these issues resolved shortly.
