asked the Minister of Health when any report from the committee dealing with the nursing service will be ready for presentation?

I understand that this committee are still engaged in the hearing of evidence and I am not able to say when they will be in a position to issue a report.

In view of the urgency of the matter and the view which has been expressed in all quarters of the House that a Bill should have been introduced some time ago, can the Minister not do something to speed up the presentation of this report?

I am afraid it would be injudicious of me to say that I would attempt to hustle this committee which is engaged in such an important task.
