HC Deb 24 November 1958 vol 596 cc3-4W
37. Mr. Randall

asked the Minister of Health to what extent, when considering the terms of his recent circular concerning the reduction of working hours for nurses, he included in his considerations any assistance to be given to hospitals.

Mr. Walker-Smith

The question of assistance does not arise until it is seen how far hospitals have been able to reduce hours by reorganising their nursing services.
