§ Mr. W. R. Duckworthasked the Minister of Health whether the emergency register of nurses, which it is proposed to set up, will include persons who have a knowledge of nursing but who do not normally practise it and whose services would be useful at times when the professional nurses are required for institutional work?
§ Mr. ElliotYes, Sir. One of the main objects of the register is to secure the services in a national emergency of women with nursing experience who are no longer practising and who would be a valuable reinforcement to nurses already attached to hospitals and other institutions.
