NRS-4897 | Minutes of proceedings [Committee for the Re-organisation of the Nursing Profession]

The main reason for the establishment of this committee appears to have been the shortage of nurses at the time (see remarks by the Minister for Health, Minutes, p.1). This was due partly to fewer girls entering the profession, coupled with a relatively high resignation rate. The Committee (chiefly made up of doctors and senior nurses) was to examine, and suggest improvements in: working conditions, training and recruitment. Three sub-committees were subsequently formed to examine these areas. The volume includes minutes of meetings for the main committee and the three sub-committees. (6/4489). 1 vol.

该委员会设立的主要缘由，似乎源于当时的护士短缺问题（详见卫生大臣发言，会议记录第1页）。这一问题的成因，一方面是投身护理行业的女性人数减少，另一方面则是相对较高的离职率。该委员会主要由医生与资深护士组成，负责审查护理行业的工作环境、培训及招聘情况，并提出改进方案。随后下设三个附属委员会，分别针对上述领域开展审查工作。本卷宗包含主委员会及三个附属委员会的会议记录。（档案编号：6/4489），共1册。注：本描述摘录自2000年第3版《新南威尔士州档案馆简明指南》。
