View answerAs the Deputy may be aware, a working group on undergraduate medical education and training recently completed a review of the organisation and delivery of medical training and education in Ireland. I am considering the broad range of recommendations made by the working group in consultation with my colleague, the Tanáiste and Minister for Health and Children. We will bring proposals to Government in the near future on a wide range of issues associated with the delivery of medical education in Ireland, including the so-called cap on numbers in undergraduate medical education.
