§ Mr. EvansTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what is the average salary of a nurse with five years' experience. [12694]
§ Mr. MilburnNurses' salaries are dependent on a wide range of factors such as grade and length of service. It is therefore not possible to provide the average salary of a nurse with five years' experience. However, current salary rates are published in advance letter (NM) 1/97, copies of which are available in the Library. Additionally, new earnings survey figures for 1996 show that the average gross weekly earnings of a full-time nurse on adult rates was £325.70.
