33 When authorised midwife may write chart instruction
An authorised midwife must not write a chart instruction for a Schedule 4 poison or Schedule 8 poison on a hospital medication chart unless—
(a) the instruction is for the midwifery treatment of a person other than the midwife; and
(e) if the poison is a drug of dependence or a Schedule 8 poison, the midwife has taken all reasonable steps to ascertain the identity of the person for whose treatment the instruction is given.
