As the question tabled by the Deputy refers to matters that are the responsibility of the Board of the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland (NMBI) I have asked them to respond directly to the Deputy.

Primary responsibility for funding the digitisation programme rests with the NMBI. To date the Department has made a contribution of €44,480 to the overall costs
