ORDINANCE

Amendment Drafted

The "Government Gazette" pub- lishes the draft of a Bill to amend further the Midwives Ordinance. 1910.

The objects and reasons are as follows: 'Quadiñed nurses desiring to be or to remain registered un- der the Nurses Registration Ordin- ance, No. 1 of 1931, are required, by Regulations 5 and 6 of the Re- gulations made under Ordinance and published by Government notification No. 321 in the Gazette of May 22, 1931, to pay as admis alon fee of ten, dollars and an

retention

fee of

two

annual dollars.

The Midwives Board has recom- mended that similar fees, but of half the amount, shaukt be chang-

the case ed in

of practising midwives

It is considered that this recom- mendation necessitates the various amendments in the Midwives Or- dinance which are made by this Bill.

NURSING HOMES

The "Government Gazette" also publishes the draft of a Bill to provide for the registration and Inspection of nursing homes and maternity homes and for purposes

connected therewith.
