The bill is drafted with the further object of obtain- ing from the Nursing Councils for England and Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Irish Free State respectively similar treatment for Nurses which will be registered under it to that which the bill purposes conferring upon Nurses registered under the said Councils.

Provision is made also for the registration of nurses trained in any place outside the Colony provided that the training and examination is of the requisite standard. This will enable nurses trained in China, if efficiently trained, to be registered.

Chinese Institutions approved by the Board will be enabled to carry on the training of nurses.

This bill and proposed regulations have been sub- mitted through the Secretary of State to the Nursing Authorities in England and Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Irish Free State and the recommenda- tions made by them have been embodied in the bill and regulations.
