Deputy Gerry Adams asked the Minister for Health the number of application packs issued by the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland for each of the years 2011 to 2016 and to date in 2017; the number of these application packs that then progressed to review and assessment stage; and the number that were ultimately registered successfully.

Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 355, 356 and 358 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.
