HC Deb 14 July 1955 vol 543 c202W
78. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Minister of Health to what extent temporary assistance for orderly and other duties in hospitals is being secured from students on vacation; and whether notification has been given to student unions that this type of work is available for their members.

Miss Hornsby-Smith

Students on vacation are often temporarily employed at hospitals, but I regret that no figures are available. It is entirely at the discretion of hospital authorities whether to employ students, and no central arrangements have been made with the student unions.
