Mr. Alex Carlile

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he has any proposals for including among the staff of penal establishments an increased number of qualified mental nurses; and if he will make a statement.

Yes. It is our aim to increase the proportion of hospital officers with general or mental nursing qualifications. Already one recruiting campaign directed at registered general nurses and registered mental nurses has been conducted and others are planned.
