REGISTRATION OF HEALTH VISITORS

Early day motion 1521, tabled 7 July 1998 by Lord Wigley (Plaid Cymru). Signed by 33 members.

That this House recognises that community nursing has become a demanding and specialized profession, central to community care policies requiring the highest standards of professional integrity and significant levels of expertise and qualification to fulfil its challenging responsibilities; and calls on the Government to resist pressures for the deregulation and registration of community nursing and associated work.
