§ Sir A. Bossomasked the Minister of Health if, in the face of the existing shortage of nurses in certain areas, he will consider allowing former nurses who have left the service but are now widows or can without difficulty leave their homes, to have a cheap refresher course of training and then be allowed to serve again as nurses in hospitals.
§ Mr. Walker-SmithMany such nurses already return to hospital nursing. No formal refresher course is needed as on their re-employment the hospital concerned makes appropriate arrangements to ensure that their knowledge and experience are brought up to date as quickly as possible.
