HC Deb 11 December 1947 vol 445 cc223-4W
50. Mr. Osborne

asked the Minister of Labour what is the estimated number of trained nurses employed in industrial and commercial concerns; and whether the number is increasing or decreasing.

Mr. Ness Edwards

Current statistics are not available, but it is estimated that the number is now considerably less than in 1943 and in 1944, when the figures were about 8,400 and 7,800, respectively.
