Nursing Act, 2005 (Act No. 33 of 2005)Chapter 2 : Education, Training, Research, Registration and Practice36. Register as proof |
| (1) | A copy of the last published issue of a register or any supplementary list purporting to be printed and published in terms of section 35 is on the face of it proof of the facts recorded in all legal proceedings, and the absence of the name of any person from such copy is proof, unless there is credible evidence to the contrary, that such person is not registered in terms of this Act, but that in the case of any person whose name— |
| (a) | does not appear in such copy, or whose name has been added to the register after the date of the last published issue thereof, a certified copy under the hand of the Registrar of the entry of the name of such person in the register is proof that such person is registered under the provisions of this Act; or |
| (b) | has been removed from the register since the date of the last published issue thereof and has not been restored thereto, a certificate under the hand of the Registrar that the name of such person has been removed from the register is proof that such person is not registered in terms of this Act. |
| (2) | A certificate of registration is proof of registration for a period of one year after its date and thereafter an annual practising certificate, issued upon payment of the prescribed annual fee and the submission of such information as may be required by the Council to keep accurate statistics on human resources in nursing, is proof of registration in the absence of any credible evidence to the contrary. |
