Amharc ar fhreagra248. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Health whether all notarised copies of passports, birth certificates and so on submitted by applicants for registration to the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland are either destroyed or returned in the event that the person is unsuccessful or the application is closed. [11125/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 247 and 248 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.
