Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 9 July 2015
224. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Health the extent to which the number of midwives qualified and practising here corresponds to international best practice; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28171/15]
View answerI 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. I have referred the Deputy's question to the HSE for attention and direct reply. If you have not received a reply from the NMBI within 15 working days, please contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with them.
