HoA resumes tomorrow in Committee discussing Nurses & Midwives Act
The House will reconvene in Committee to discuss the Nurses and Midwives Act, 2020.
The bill, which has received its Second and Third Readings, seeks to regulate the licensing, practice and discipline of nursing and midwifery and will replace the 2009 version of the act, which required practitioners to comply with a code of ethics through the Virgin Islands Nurses and Midwives Council.
During the debate on the bill on September 25, 2020, Opposition legislator Honourable Julian Fraser RA (R3) called for a clause in the Nurses and Midwives Act, 2020, to enable retired nurses to be allowed to work on a contractual basis in the Territory.
The HoA meeting on September 29, 2020, is slated to start at 10:00am and will be carried live on CBN Radio 90.9 FM, CBN-Television Channel 101 on Flow TV and can also be followed on the HoA YoutTube channel and online at www.cbnvirginislands.com.
