a despatch from the Government of Hong Kong eno losing co pi es

of a Bill which it is proposed to introduce in the Legislative

Council of the Colony entitled "An Ordinance to provide for

the registration of nurses for the Sick", together with copies

of the regulations which it is proposed to make under the power

given in the Bill.

2. The General Nursing Council of the Irish FrO ●

State are not aware of any objection to the terms of th

proposed bill so far as they are concerned, and they will be

prepared to grant reciprocal treatment to all persons on the

Regis ter for Hong Kong so long as they are satisfied as to

the standard of training.

Me reference in Clause 5. of the Bill to the

General Nursing Council for Ireland is, however, incorrect

as there is no anoh body. The reference should be adapted as

a referem e to the General Nursing Council for the Irish
