I move amendment No. 19:

In page 133, between lines 29 and 30, to insert the following: "Amendment of section 58 of Act of 2011

156.Section 58 of the Act of 2011 is amended by the insertion of the following subsection after subsection (4):
"(5) (a) Paragraph (b) applies where—
(i) a registered nurse or registered midwife becomes the subject of an order under subsection (3)(a), and

(ii) the Board has reason to believe that—
(I) the nurse or midwife is registered in another jurisdiction as a nurse or midwife or has made an application to be registered as a nurse or midwife in another jurisdiction which has not yet been determined, and

(II) that order may not have come to the attention of the body duly authorised to perform functions in that jurisdiction that correspond to the functions of the Board.
(b) The Board shall give notice in writing to that body of that order and may, notwithstanding any provision of Directive 2005/36/EC or of the Regulations of 2017, provide that body with a copy of that order and copies of other documents relevant to that order.".".
