EXPLANATORY NOTE.
(This note is not part of the Instrument and does not purport to be a legal interpretation.)
In relation to the Health Reform, the National Council for the Professional Development of Nursing and Midwifery is part of the “short-term” time table. Cessation will not occur on 1/1/2005, but at some time in the near future after. At present, the date of cessation remains to be determined.
At end of November 2004, half of the membership of the board of the National Council are due to have tenure expired.
In order to allow for a smooth transition, it is recommended that the current members should be reappointed to the board.
The purpose of this amendment is to remove the restriction that prevents reappointment of these members.
