Status:
This version of this schedule contains provisions that are prospective.
Status
The term provision is used to describe a definable element in a piece of legislation that has legislative effect – such as a Part, Chapter or section. A version of a provision is prospective either:
- where the provision (Part, Chapter or section) has never come into force or;
- where the text of the provision is subject to change, but no date has yet been appointed by the appropriate person or body for those changes to come into force.
Commencement Orders listed in the ‘Changes to Legislation’ box as not yet applied may bring this prospective version into force.
Changes to legislation:
There are outstanding changes not yet made by the legislation.gov.uk editorial team to The Nursing and Midwifery Order 2001. Any changes that have already been made by the team appear in the content and are referenced with annotations.
