HC Deb 04 November 1958 vol 594 c30W
67. Mr. Hoy

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what plans he has for implementing the decision to introduce an 8-hour day for hospital nurses.

Mr. Maclay

I have accepted a recommendation of the Nurses and Midwives Whitley Council that an 88-hour fortnight should be introduced for hospital nursing staff as soon as conditions permit, and have asked hospital authorities to give effect to it.
