Pursuant to sections 42 (1) (a), 42 (2) (a), 42 (3), 42 (9)
and 48A of the Nurses Act 1977, the Nursing Council of New Zealand ("the council") in a decision dated 14 February 2003, ordered that the name Lisa Jane Kennedy be removed from the Register of Comprehensive Nurses.

Lisa Jane Kennedy was sentenced to 12 months' supervision by the Court.
In exercising its disciplinary powers, the council also ordered that Lisa Jane Kennedy may apply for reinstatement to the Register after two years, that Lisa Jane Kennedy pay $350.00 costs, that a notice stating the effect of the orders be published in the New Zealand Gazette, Kai Tiaki: Nursing New Zealand, the PSA Journal, the council's newsletter and made available to accredited members of the media, and that she return to the Registrar all certificates and badges issued to her under the Nurses Act 1977.
