Plaid Cymru Health Spokesperson Elin Jones called on the government to maintain the current bursaryscheme as it is and ensure the continuous professional development in the nursing profession.
For instance, another bursaryscheme, aimed at eliminating child labour, is now helping 130, 000 children aged seven to 14, but a further 736, 000 are estimated still to be working on farms or in workshops instead of going to school.
Among the causes supported by the trust has been a scholarship scheme for Leeds University undergraduate medical students, funding - among other things - a bursary for the students to conduct research during the holidays.
