§ 66. Major BARNETTasked the Minister of Health whether the General Nursing Council for England and Wales has yet submitted for his approval rules providing adequately for the direct representation of registered nurses on the council, and the prescribed scheme of training required by the Nurses Registration Act, 1919; and, if not, whether he will consider the desirability of appointing a Select Committee to deal with these matters?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINThe General Nursing Council have submitted a revised scheme for the election of nurse members and rules governing the training of candidates for admission to the register. In accordance with the promise given by my predecessor, I am prepaid to recommend the appointment of a Select Committee to examine the election scheme and to report upon the desirability of making the adoption of the Council's syllabus of training compulsory.
