The Committee notes the detailed information supplied in the Government's report.

Article 7 of the Convention (in conjunction with Article 5). The Committee notes that the Ministry of Health is constantly trying to improve laws and regulations on occupational health and safety for all workers in the health sector, including nursing personnel. It would be grateful if the Government would state how the consultation and participation of the trade union organizations concerned are ensured in the preparation and implementation of the above measures. Furthermore, with reference to its general observation of 1990, which it repeated in 1994, the Committee asks the Government to indicate the measures taken or envisaged, in consultation with the employers' and workers' organizations concerned, to take account of the particular risk of accidental exposure to the human immune deficiency virus (HIV) among nursing personnel: for example, adjustment of working conditions, confidentiality of test results, recognition that the cause of the infection was occupational, etc.

Point V of the report form. Please continue to provide general information on the way in which the Convention is applied in practice and also to supply, if possible, data on the number of people leaving the profession.
