DD-MMM-YYYY TEXT : Explanatory Note This note is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general effect. These regulations come into force on 1 November 2005. They authorise nurse practitioners registered with the Nursing Council of New Zealand to prescribe certain prescription medicines if the nurse practitioners meet certain requirements relating to competence, qualifications, and training. The details of most of those requirements will be specified by the Council by notice in the Gazette. Nurse practitioners who do not meet those requirements--- o must not prescribe prescription medicines; and o commit an offence if they do. These regulations also--- o amend the Medicines Regulations 1984 so that they prohibit prescribing of prescription medicines by authorised nurse practitioners for use outside, or contrary to a condition stated in, their personal scopes of practice determined by the Council under the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act 2003; and o revoke and replace the Medicines (Designated Prescriber: Nurses Practising in Aged Care and Child Family Health) Regulations 2001; and o make consequential amendments to the Medicines Regulations 1984; and o continue, for a 3-year transitional period, and if those nurses meet specified requirements, existing designated prescriber nurses' authority under the revoked regulations to prescribe specified prescription medicines. Designated prescriber nurses are also authorised, in certain circumstances, to prescribe certain controlled drugs: see section 8(2A)(a) of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1975 and regulations 12A and 21(4B) of the Misuse of Drugs Regulations 1977. (Those regulations also regulate the issue by those nurses of prescriptions for the supply of controlled drugs.) Issued under the authority of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989. Date of notification in Gazette: 15 September 2005. These regulations are administered in the Ministry of Health.
