Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 1999, Publicación: 88ª reunión CIT (2000)

The Committee refers to its previous comments and notes with regret that, according to the information provided by the Government, the legislative text requested in 1995, namely Decree No. 91-912, and the collective agreement referred to in the Government's report of 1994 were not transmitted with the Government's last report. The Committee again expresses its hope that the Government will make every effort to forward the texts in question to enable the Committee to commence a review of the manner in which the Convention is applied in law.

Article 7 of the Convention. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government to the effect that Decree No. 91-912bis of 21 December 1991, establishing the particular status of officials of the Ministry of Health and Social Affairs, includes provisions governing the health and safety of nursing personnel in the public sector, in particular, the provision ensuring protection against occupational hazards and the provision for systematic and periodical medical visits.

Part V of the report form. The Committee notes the Government's information to the effect that the numbers of nursing personnel had fallen between 1986 and 1997. It also notes the Government's statement that the International Monetary Fund had requested the Government to commence recruiting in this sector. The Committee hopes the Government will continue to provide information on any progress achieved in this regard and on the adoption of any other measures arising out of consultations with the employers' and workers' organizations concerned.
