(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order approves, as respects proceedings in England and Wales only, the Rules set out in the Schedule. These amend the Professional Conduct rules of the United Kingdom Central Council for Nursing, Midwifery and Health Visiting so as to remove the requirement for the deputy chairman of, respectively, the Preliminary Proceedings Committee, the Professional Conduct Committee and the Health Committee to be Council members; and to reduce from two to one the number of Council members necessary to constitute a quorum of each of the said Committees.
