Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1992, published 79th ILC session (1992)

Nursing Personnel Convention, 1977 (No. 149) - Uruguay (Ratification: 1980)

The Committee notes a communication from the Nurses' Association of Uruguay, dated 18 December 1991, a copy of which has been transmitted to the Government by a letter dated 21 January 1992. The Nurses' Association alleges that effect is not given to the provisions of the Convention concerning consultation with the professional organisations of the Government's measures in respect of education and nursing training. Consequently, it would be grateful if the Government would make its own observations on these allegations so that the Committee can examine the substance of the question at its next session.

In addition, the Committee has referred to other questions related to Article 2, paragraph 2(a) and (b), and Article 5, paragraph 2, in a direct request.
