The Philippines has been assured of the continuous hiring of Filipino nurses in New Zealand amid reports of discrimination against them.
Chief Executive Carolyn Reed and Registration Manager Andrea McCance of the New Zealand Nursing Council made the assurance during a meeting with officials of the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA).
Both Council officials expressed regret at the confusion brought allegedly about by erroneous media reporting which questioned the competence of Filipino nurses.
In a press statement, Reed clarified that the alleged remarks were made by other parties who are not connected with the New Zealand Nursing Council or the New Zealand Government.
The council executives met with DFA Asian and Pacific Affairs director J. Susana Paez and Office of the Undersecretary for International Economic Relations director Eric Gerardo Tamayo, as well as with Dr. Teresita Barcelo, president of the Philippine Colleges of Nursing (ADPCN). They also met separately with officials of the Professional Regulatory Commission (PRC) and the Commission on Higher Education (CHED).
Filipinos comprise the second largest number of foreign nurses in New Zealand, with about 200 nurses registered every year.
