Question:286 Mr. J. Bruton asked the Minister for Health and Children the initiatives he will put in place for nurses already registered in one discipline, who have their diploma in nursing and are registered with An Bord Altranais, who wish to continue their training in another discipline but under the new degree regime will now have to return to full-time education to complete their post-graduate training; if he will initiate an exemption for those nurses who are already registered with An Bord Altranais who have completed their diplomas to reflect the training they have already completed; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
