§ 26. Mr. William Hamiltonasked the Minister of Health when he intends to refer to the National Board for Prices and Incomes the salaries of nurses within the National Health Service.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonThe reference was made on 29th June.
§ Mr. HamiltonIs my right hon. Friend satisfied that none of the criteria for increased wages and salaries in the recent White Paper on Prices and Incomes could lead to a rejection of a substantial increase for the nursing profession? When does he expect the Report to be published?
§ Mr. RobinsonI cannot anticipate the date of the Prices and Incomes Board's Report, but I am satisfied that it will give very full and understanding consideration to the claim on behalf of the nursing profession.
