64 Mrs. Doyle asked the Minister for Health whether he has received submission requesting the introduction of improvements in the Nurses Act or the introduction of a new Act; and his intentions in this regard.
A comprehensive consultative process has been undertaken by my Department as a preliminary to reviewing the Nurses Act, 1985. A total of 41 submissions have been received from various representative, professional and other interested bodies and the many diverse views expressed on the direction and extent of legislative change required have been given careful consideration.
