Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 2 March 2017
247. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Health whether applications for registration to the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland will be closed after a year if they have not been processed within that time, forcing persons to reapply and again pay an application fee. [11124/17]
View answer248. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Health whether all notarised copies of passports, birth certificates and so on submitted by applicants for registration to the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland are either destroyed or returned in the event that the person is unsuccessful or the application is closed. [11125/17]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 247 and 248 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 Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland (NMBI). I have referred the Deputy's question to the NMBI for attention and direct reply within 10 working days.
