View answer621. Deputy Michael Lowry asked the Minister for Health if he will address the fact that 272 nurses are currently on the waiting list for the Health Service Executive clinical adaptation programme; his plans to extend the programme beyond August 2015. [14783/15]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 619 and 621 together.
I wish to thank the Deputy for the matter raised.
Given that this is an operational matter, it is appropriate that it should be dealt with by the HSE. Therefore, I have referred the Deputy’s questions to the HSE for attention and direct reply.
If he has not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days, he should contact my private office and they will follow up the matter with them.
