Amharc ar fhreagraNo new agencies or authorities have been set up by my Department since February 2011. Since my appointment in March 2011, three bodies have been dissolved, they are The National Social Work Qualifications Board (31 March 2011), The Children Acts Advisory Board (8 September 2011) and The National Council for the Professional Development of Nursing and Midwifery (31 December 2011). Legislation is at various stages of preparation to deal with a further four. The additional information sought by the Deputy is being collated and will be forwarded to the Deputy when finalised.
