Irish Nurses Placement Pay 'To Stay'
Dáil plans to abolish payments to student nurses and midwives during their mandatory 36-week placement in hospitals in their fourth year may change.
The level of payments made to student nurses and midwives over the coming years will remain in place - but be reduced - after the Government announced in December that the payment - currently 80% of the minimum point on the staff nurse pay scale - would be reduced on a phased basis until 2014 and abolished completely from January 2015.
In a statement today, the Tánaiste and Minister for Health Mary Coughlan said that having considered the issue, there was "a strong argument in favour of retaining some level of payment to student nurses".
