Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 March 2017
1006. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Health when an application with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland, NMBI, will be finalised for a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14155/17]
View answerI have received a report from the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland (NMBI) on this issue.
I understand that the applicant applied to register in the General Division of the Register with NMBI on 7 February 2017. The NMBI confirmed that they are awaiting receipt of the verification document from the Nursing and Midwifery Council in the UK. It should be noted that the NMBI usually receives batches of verification documents from the NMC every 10 working days. The NMBI have further advised that the applicant's file will be assessed as a matter of priority and the applicant will be contacted thereafter to advise her of the outcome of the assessment.
