asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will make a statement on unemployment among nurses.

Mr. Deakins

I am glad to say that the number of qualified nurses and midwives registering as unemployed in England is continuing to fall. However, in March there were still 3,901 on the register, not all of whom are seeking employment in the National Health Service.
