Clinical training placements for medical students are a matter for the Health Service Executive and the relevant Higher Education Institution medical schools. I have no function in relation to this matter. However, in order to assist the Deputy, Department officials have been in contact with the Higher Education Authority and the Authority is currently following up with the medical schools at the appropriate level in relation to the mattter, the outcome of which interaction will be relayed to the Deputy.
