HC Deb 24 April 1923 vol 163 c270
48. Sir WALTER de FRECE

asked the Prime Minister if he is aware that there are still various matters causing much unrest and friction among the trained nurses in the country, and thereby prejudicing the care of the sick of all classes; and whether, in these circumstances, he will appoint a Select Committee of the House of Commons to investigate the whole issue?

Mr. BALDWIN

I am not aware that the care of the sick is being prejudiced by professional controversies within the nursing profession. The questions at issue were fully discussed in connection with the passing of the Nurses Registration Act at the end of 1919; and I do not think that any occasion has arisen, for the appointment of a Select Committee.
