§ Major CHAPPLEasked the Under-Secretary of State for War (1) whether his attention has been called to the fact that the London Hospital nurses only get two years' training for their certificate; and whether any such nurses have recently been appointed to the Army nursing staff; and (2) whether he is aware that recently qualified nurses appointed to the Army nursing staff from all the chief Scottish hospitals hold certificates showing four years' training, that similar nurses appointed from the great Metropolitan hospitals hold certificates showing three years' training, and that nurses appointed from the London Hospital hold certificates showing only two years' training; and will he explain why this standard of training is accepted from the London Hospital?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONNo nurse from the London Hospital with less than three years' training and service in the wards of the hospital is appointed to the Queen Alexandra's Imperial Military Nursing Service.
