Repetition

Article 2(1) of the Convention. Adoption of a policy concerning nursing services and nursing personnel. The Committee has taken note of the information contained in the Government’s report. It notes in particular that the “Nurses and Midwives Bill” will be the legislative document for nursing personnel in Guyana and that this document was reviewed and is now in the process of preparation to be tabled in Parliament. The Committee requests the Government to keep it informed of the status of this new Bill and to provide it with a copy once it has been adopted.
