HC Deb 18 March 1920 vol 126 cc2407-8W
Captain TERRELL

asked the Minister of Health what reasons have actuated him in refusing the request of the Council of the Queen Victoria's Jubilee Institute for Nurses that representatives of the country nursing associations and of the institute should be appointed on certain of the consultative councils under his Department?

Dr. ADDISON

The total membership of a Consultative Council is restricted by Order in Council to twenty, and I regret that within this limit it was not found possible to include persons having the special type of knowledge and experience in question in the Council on Medical and Allied Services. I am hoping, however, to have the advantage of their assistance on any Committee of the Council appointed to consider the future organisation of nursing services.
