PQ 95
87 Mr. G. Mitchell asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children when the Nurses Act 1985 will be amended as recommended by the nursing commission in relation to midwifery; if the new legislation will be prepared in consultation with midwives; if the autonomous role of midwives will be specifically recognised; if her attention has been drawn to a shortage of midwives in the Dublin area and of forecasts of an even greater decline in numbers; if her attention has further been drawn to fact that the removal of the midwifery qualification for entry to public health nursing will further impact on recruitment to the profession; her views on whether direct entry midwifery programmes at degree level are urgently needed; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
