§ 62. Mr. Medlicottasked the Minister of Health if he will arrange to secure a measure of priority for the construction of housing accommodation for district nurses, especially in rural areas.
§ Mr. BevanI am sending the hon. Member a copy of a circular which was sent to local authorities on this subject on 8th May.
§ Mr. MedlicottWill the Minister do all he can to help in this matter, because many rural districts are in danger of losing good nurses owing to the difficulty of finding housing accommodation?
§ Mr. BevanAs I stated in my reply of 8th May, I am doing my utmost to try and persuade local authorities to make these facilities available.
