Mr. John David Taylor
asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many state-enrolled nurses employed in Northern Ireland were trained in the Republic of Ireland; whether reciprocal arrangements exist for state-enrolled nurses trained in Northern Ireland to be employed in the Republic of Ireland; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Chris Patten
No state-enrolled nurses employed in Northern Ireland were trained in the Republic of Ireland. There are no reciprocal arrangements between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland for the employment of state-enrolled nurses in the Irish Republic.
