Mary Wallace
Question:94 Miss M. Wallace asked the Minister for Health the support available from his Department for a person (details supplied) in County Meath who commenced an undergraduate nursing tutor course in University College Dublin in October 1994, on the understanding that a decision had been taken by his Department that grants would be provided for applicants to do an undergraduate nursing tutor course to correct the deficiency in the numbers of nursing tutors and that the funding commenced in 1992 and was to be made available for a five year period; and if his attention has been drawn to the fact that about three years ago his Department did a survey of nurse tutors and discovered a deficiency in teaching staff and decided to increase the number of places on the course in University College Dublin.
