§ 38. Mr. GRUNDYasked the Minister of Health whether he can give an assurance that in the appointment of the first council under the Nurses Registration Act there will be included representatives directly nominated by bonâ fide nurses' trade unions, as distinct from associations presumed to cater for nurses, but directed and controlled by persons other than nurses?
§ Dr. ADDISONUnder the Schedule to the Act I am bound to consult, and I have consulted, three organisations specifically named and such other associations or organised bodies of nurses or matrons as ask to be consulted. No organisation is given the right of direct nomination to the General Nursing Council. The invitations in connection with the membership of the Council will be issued to-morrow.
