After due inquiry and in exercise of powers under sections 42 (1) (b), 42 (2) (b) (a), 42 (3) and 48A of the Nurses Act 1977, the Nursing Council of New Zealand ("the council"), in a decision dated 24 June 2002, found registered comprehensive nurse Graeme Bramwell Pollock guilty
of professional misconduct on the grounds that Graeme Bramwell Pollock's conduct brings or is likely to bring discredit on the nursing profession.
The council ordered that Graeme Bramwell Pollock
only practise under supervision for a period of one full
year from the date he recommences working as a
registered comprehensive nurse and that he pay $6,320.00 (being 40%) towards the actual costs and expenses of
and incidental to the investigation and prosecution by
the preliminary proceedings committee and inquiry by the council. It also ordered that a notice stating the effect
of these orders be published in the New Zealand Gazette, Kai Tiaki: Nursing New Zealand and the nursing council's newsletter.
