Clause 48 - Exclusion of nursing care from community care services
Health and Social Care Bill
6:45 pm
Mr Philip Hammond (Runnymede and Weybridge, Conservative)
I put it to the Minister that the expression
``care using the knowledge and skills of a qualified nurse''
could embrace a health care assistant operating under the supervision of and with power delegated by a registered nurse, a circumstance that is, regrettably, probably more common than we would like, but which recognises the reality of the manpower problem that the nursing profession faces.
