Answer
My officials are continuing their review into the breadth of current funding provided in support of students on pre-registration healthcare programmes. This review is intended to inform options for a public consultation. I would hope to be in a position to launch that consultation later this year.
It is not possible to indicate what future changes will be until the consultation has been completed and responses considered.
