Judgment

Monday 3 September 2012

MR JUSTICE SUPPERSTONE:

1.

The applicant seeks an extension of the interim suspension order (originally an interim conditions of practice order) made on 11 March 2011 under Article 31(8) of the Nursing and Midwifery Order 2001 for a period of twelve months from 10 September 2012.

2.

Having read the witness statement dated 8 August 2012 of Nyrai Nhemachena, a case officer in the Fitness to Practise Directorate of the Nursing and Midwifery Council with the conduct of this case, and the exhibits thereto, and having heard from counsel for the applicant and the respondent, I am satisfied that the interim extension order should be extended to 4pm on 10 July 2013 on the grounds that it remains necessary to protect the public and is otherwise in the public interest. The respondent has been given notice of this application and of the material documentation in support of it.

3.

The respondent has permission, on giving three days' written notice to the applicant, to apply to the court to vary or discharge this order.

4.

There will be no order for costs.
