§ 61. Mr. Hubbardasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many male nurses are employed in general, fever and sanatoria hospitals in Scotland.

§ 62. Mr. Hubbardasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many hospital boards of management have refused to employ male nurses in Scotland; and to what extent there is a shortage of nursing staff in those areas.
§ Mr. J. StuartMale nurses are employed under 61 of the 85 boards of management in Scotland. I do not know how many of the others have decided against the employment of male nurses and how many have never considered the question. Shortage of nursing staff relate rather to types of hospitals than to areas.
