NPAO News

Bill 179 The Regulated Health Professions Amendment Act - This legislation will update the way nurse practitioners and other health professionals practice in Ontario. While there are steps forward in the proposed changes, prescribing authority and ability to admit, treat and discharge patients in hospitals are not sufficiently addressed.  NPAO President Tina Hurlock-Chorostecki and other organizations recently made presentations to the Social Policy Committee of the Legislature.  The Committee will review the feedback and propose amendments.  To view NPAO's submission click here
