This Order, which is made under the Nursing and Midwifery Order 2001, approves Rules made by the Nursing and Midwifery Council which amend the Nursing and Midwifery Council (Midwives) Rules 2004 (“the Midwives Rules”).

Rule 3 replaces Rule 11 of the Midwives Rules. It requires a local supervising authority to appoint supervisors of midwives and sets out the revised requirements to be met in order to be appointed.
