Mr. Wigley

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what assessment he has made of the impact of ending the separate registration of health visitors on public safety and quality of nursing care. [50829]

Mr. Milburn

This is an issue which was raised during the consultation stage of the current review of the Nurses, Midwives and Health Visitors Act 1979. United Kingdom Health Ministers expect to receive the review report shortly and will be considering its recommendations over the summer.
