Explanatory Note

(This Note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the Nurses, Midwives and Health Visitors (Parts of the Register) Order 1983 which specifies the various parts of the register of qualified nurses, midwives and health visitors. Part 9 of that register (fever nurses), which from 1st July 1983 has been closed, is re-opened and its scope is extended to nurses who, though not registered in that Part on that date, are trained in nursing of those suffering from fever but cannot be admitted to any other Part of the register.
