EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This Note is not part of the Instrument, but is intended to indicate its general purport.)

The rules approved by this Instrument replace by a new Scheme the Scheme for the election of the members of the General Nursing Council who are required to be elected by virtue of the provisions of Schedule 1 to the Nurses Act 1957. The minor changes made are those required as a result of the Nurses (Amendment) Act 1961.

The system, in accordance with which the election of the fifteen nurses referred to in paragraph 2 (1)(a) of Schedule 1 to the Nurses Act 1957 as amended is to be conducted, continues to be that provided for in paragraph 4 (a ) of that Schedule, i.e. the assignment to each of the electors of one vote in respect of each of the fifteen areas into which England and Wales is divided by paragraph 2 (2) of that Schedule.
