practitioners will be undertaken in accordance with the usual processes that apply to all registered nurses.

The ACT community will benefit from this extended nursing practice in the autonomous assessment and management of clients and the use of nursing knowledge and skills, going through advanced education and clinical experience in a specific area of nursing practice within a multidisciplinary team environment. Nurse practitioners offer innovative ways to provide high quality health care for people who do not easily have access to current health services. The successful ACT nurse practitioner trial showed that nurse practitioners provide safe health care as well as offering alternative choices to consumers.

On behalf of the government I thank members for their support of this bill and commend the bill to the Assembly.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

Bill agreed to in principle.

Leave granted to dispense with the detail stage.

Bill agreed to.

Suspension of standing and temporary orders

MS TUCKER (11.31): I seek leave to move a motion to rescind the resolution agreed to by the Assembly this morning to adjourn debate on the Building Bill 2003, Construction Occupations (Licensing) Bill 2003 and the Construction Occupations Legislation Amendment Bill 2003 until the next day of sitting and to order business.

Leave granted.

MS TUCKER: Thank you. I move:

That:

(1) the resolution agreed to by the Assembly this morning to adjourn debate on the Building Bill 2003 until the next day of sitting, be rescinded; and

(2) resumption of debate on order of the day No 1, Executive business, not be called on until after the matter of public importance.

I think everyone is in agreement with this. We have had an informal conversation; it was a mistake, or an irregularity under order standing 137, which states:

A resolution or other vote of the Assembly, may be read and rescinded; but no such resolution or other vote may be rescinded within the same calendar year, unless 3 days’ notice is given: Provided that to correct irregularities or mistakes one day’s notice shall be sufficient, or the corrections may be made at once by leave of the Assembly.
