My Lord,

Government house,

Hongkong,

19th September, 1929.

with reference to my despatch 0.377 of 5th

September,1927, I have the honour to transmit herewith

six copies of a bill, which it is proposed to introduce

in the Legislative Council, together with copies of

the regulations it is proposed to make under the

powers given in the bill.

2. The object of the bill is to establish a

register for nurses for the sick in the Colony, to

make provision for the training of such nurses, and to

fix the standard of their training and to provide for

the examination of such nurses before they are

admitted to the register.

The bill follows the

provisions of the nurses Registration Act,1919, and

the standard of training and examination is that set

forth in the rules published by the General Iursing

Council for England and Wales.

3. One of the chief objects of the bill is to

obtain reciprocity of treatment from the ursing

Councils of England and Wales, Scotland and Ireland.

Provision is made in the bill for the admission to

the register of nurses who may be, at the time of

application, on the register of the General Councils

of England and Wales,Scotland or Ireland. These

LORD FASDFIELD,
