Ceist:276 Mr. D. Carey asked the Minister for Health and Children if his attention has been drawn to the reason that the Western Health Board has refused work placements for third year environmental health students when other health boards have no difficulties; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that four students have lost six weeks valuable experience because of the impasse; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
