(6) The Board may from time to time procure the appointment
of some officer of the Public Service to be the Secretary of the Board,

appointed.

(7) Any notice to be given by the Board under these regulations
shall be sufficient if given in writing sent by ordinary prepaid letter-
post, and shall be deemed to have been so given at the time when in
the ordinary course of post it would be delivered at the address to

PART I.

TRAINING, EXAMINATION, AND REGISTRATION OF NURSES, MATERNITY
NURSES, AND MIDWIVES.

2. Approval of Training-schools for Nurses.

(1) The governing body of every hospital which desires to establish
at the hospital a training-school for nurses and to have it approved
for the purposes of the said Act shall apply for such approval to the
Board through the secretary, and shall in such application set out the
names of the persons who will constitute the teaching staff.

(2) No hospital shall be approved by the Board as a training-
school for nurses unless—

(a) The Matron is a nurse registered under the said Act and
approved by the Board :

(b) There can be given at the hospital the course of instruction
referred to in these regulations ; and

(c) The other requirements in regard to the training of nurses set
out in these regulations can be adequately complied with.

(3) The governing body of any hospital may apply to the Board
to have such hospital approved for limited training for the purposes
of the said Act, and shall upon such application furnish to the Board
such particulars relating to the training available at such hospital as
the Board may require.

(4) The Board may approve for limited-training purposes any
hospital in respect of which application has been made for such ap-
proval, or any hospital in respect of which application has been made
for approval as a training-school for nurses, if in the opinion of the
Board such hospital is not eligible for approval as a training-school
for nurses but satisfactory preliminary training is available there.

(5) No hospital shall be approved by the Board for limited train-
ing unless—

(a) The Matron is a nurse registered under the said Act and ap-
proved by the Board :

(b) There can be given at the hospital such portion of the course
of instruction hereinafter referred to as the Board thinks
necessary ; and

(c) The other requirements in regard to the training of nurses
hereinafter set out can be complied with so far as the Board
thinks necessary.

(6) If at any time, in respect of an approved hospital or limited-
training hospital, either—

(a) The Matron is not a nurse registered under the said Act ; or

(b) The Board has in its discretion resolved that its approval of
the Matron be revoked ; or

(c) In the opinion of the Board the course of instruction referred
to in these regulations (or, in the case of a limited-training
hospital, such portion of the said course of instruction as
the Board at any time thinks necessary) is not being given ;
or

(d) In the opinion of the Board the other requirements in regard
to the training of nurses set out in these regulations are
not adequately complied with (or, in the case of a limited-
training hospital, are not complied with so far as the Board
at any time thinks necessary) ; or

(e) The training of nurses is not conducted in all respects to the
satisfaction of the Board :

then and in any such case the Board may, after giving to the govern-
ing body of such hospital not less than three months’ notice of its
intention so to do, revoke its approval of such hospital as a training-
school for nurses or for limited training, as the case may be.
