The below Parliamentary question was asked by Rosie Cooper on 2014-05-06.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what representations he has received on the inclusion of a bill on modernisation of the regulation of nurses and midwives in the Queen’s Speech.
Dr Daniel Poulter
We have not received representations on the inclusion of a bill on modernisation of the regulation of nurses and midwives. However, the Department has received representations on taking forward the Law Commission’s work from a number of organisations, including:
– professional regulatory bodies;
– patient safety groups;
– the Professional Standards Authority; and
– medical professional associations.
