HC Deb 11 November 1948 vol 457 c195W
1. Mr. G. Williams

asked the Minister of Health what steps he is taking to overcome the shortage of nursing facilities for tuberculosis cases.

Mr. Bevan

Nurses engaged in tuberculosis nursing receive higher salaries and additional service allowances. The forthcoming Bill to provide for the better training of nurses should assist in meeting the shortage in this as in other fields. Other suggestions to improve conditions of work in hospitals and sanatoria are being actively considered by the hospital management committees.
