[00:00:00]Madison Chilcott is a student midwife from Bridgewater. She pays fees of 9,500 pounds a year and must complete a minimum of 2,300 unpaid clinical hours.

Yes, you Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The honorable gentleman raises important matters. On the particular concerns about the case that he raises, I will raise it with the current minister and make sure that either the honorable gentleman gets a an update from there or if you want to meet you with the minister, I'll help him to arrange one.
