After due inquiry and in exercise of its powers under sections 41 (1) (b), 42 (9), 42 (2) (a), 42 (3) and 48A of the Nurses Act 1977, the Nursing Council of New Zealand
("the council"), in a decision dated 26 September 2000, ordered that Maryanne Elizabeth Lagaluga's name be removed from the register of comprehensive nurses.
It declined to fix a time after which she may apply to have her name reinstated to the register.
The council also ordered that she pay $8300.00 being
50 percent of the actual costs and expenses of and incidental to the investigation and inquiry by the council, and that a notice stating the effect of these orders be published in the New Zealand Gazette, Kai Tiaki: Nursing New Zealand, The New Zealand Herald, and the council's newsletter.
