The Act also provides that the name of a nurse may be erased from the Register or registration may be suspended where he has failed to pay a retention fee charged by the Board. Before such a decision is taken the Board must have requested payment on at least two occasions and allowed a period of two months to elapse after the second request. The same right of appeal to the High Court or application by the Board to the High Court for confirmation applies in this case and a nurse’s name will be restored to the Register on payment of the approved Restoration Fee.
NOTE:
While the above is a summary of the provisions of the Nurses Act, 1985, it does not purport to be a legal interpretation of the Act.
