HC Deb 30 November 1925 vol 188 cc1855-6W
Colonel DAY

asked the Minister of Health whether it is contemplated appealing to hospitals and Poor Law institutions to supply a corps of trained nurses from the trained staff of such hospitals and institutions which could be used in case of national emergency?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

No, Sir. Steps are, however, being taken to secure that the additional nursing staff required on mobilisation by the combatant Services should be obtained with a minimum of disturbance of the voluntary and Poor Law hospitals.
