Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 1999, publiée 88ème session CIT (2000)

The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

In its previous comments the Committee noted the observations made by the Association of Nursing Personnel of Uruguay to the effect that regulations establishing a nursing diploma had been adopted without those concerned having been consulted. It noted that the detailed explanations in the Government's report gave no information on the existence and results of the consultations provided for in Articles 2 and 5 of the Convention. The Committee notes the detailed information supplied by the Government. The latter refers in particular to a technical nursing committee on which the Association of Nursing Personnel of Uruguay is represented. The Committee asks the Government to provide detailed information on the composition and functions of the technical nursing committee including the texts regulating such committees. The Committee is also addressing a request directly to the Government concerning certain other points.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.
