HC Deb 16 November 1981 vol 13 c56W

Miss Fookes asked the Secretary of State for Social Services when he expects the nurses and midwives Whitley Council to conclude a settlement on nurses pay.

Dr. Vaughan

The next nurses and midwives annual pay settlement will not be due until 1 April 1982. The discussions for this will begin once the pay factor for the NHS has been decided.
