This draft order sets out a proposed constitution for the NMC. It provides details of the composition of the council; the terms of office of council members, and criteria for the disqualification, suspension or removal of members from office.

The Nursing and Midwifery (Amendment) Order 2008 was made on 11 June. It makes a number of changes to the constitutional arrangements for the Nursing and Midwifery Council. Instead of the constitutional details of the NMC being set out the in the Nursing and Midwifery Order 2001, these details must now be set out in a separate Constitution Order made by the Privy Council.

This paper considers the proposed constitution of the Nursing and Midwifery Council.

Please respond using the questionnaire no later than 1 September 2008
