HC Deb 08 December 1969 vol 793 cc16-7W
Sir F. Bennett

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he is satisfied with the current rate of recruitment and establishment of matrons in the National Health Service; and if he will make a statement.

Dr. John Dunwoody

I am not aware of any general difficulty in recruiting for the existing matron posts or for the new posts which are replacing them as the new nursing administrative structure is introduced, but salaries are under review.
