Explanatory Note
(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 reduce the number of medical examiners who are required to examine the practitioner from two to one in cases concerning the practitioner’s fitness to practise; and to make further provision with respect to any medical practitioner instructed by the practitioner.
