reg 40B

Rounding of minimum number of nurses or midwives

In force

(1)

If a minimum number of nurses or midwives worked out under this part is less than 1, the number is taken to be 1.

(2)

Otherwise, if a minimum number of nurses or midwives worked out under this part is not a whole number, the number must be rounded to the nearest whole number (rounding one-half downwards).

Example—

For the morning shift in an acute adult ward with 7 patients, the number worked out under section 40(2)(a) is 1.75, so the minimum number of nurses or midwives required is 2.
