HC Deb 21 July 1993 vol 229 cc214-5W
Ms Primarolo

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many nurses trained as specialists in paediatrics in each of the last five years.

Mr. Sackville

The figures give the numbers starting paediatric nurse training and the numbers completing paediatric nurse training in England at year ending 31 March.

1988 1989 1990 1991 1992
Intakes to training 710 810 850 1,090 1,180
Completing training 780 700 770 850 890

Note: The number completing training in 1988 is greater than the number of intakes to training in the same year because those completing refer to intakes in previous years.
