HC Deb 16 June 1959 vol 607 cc27-8W
74. Mr. Forman

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if the arrangement whereby the nurses in the general hospitals in Scotland are expected to have X-ray examinations every six months is a safe period or whether he will consider some other arrangement.

Mr. Maclay

The existing arrangements are based on the recommendations in a memorandum on the supervision of nurses health prepared by a Committee of the King Edward's Hospital Fund. The memorandum was endorsed by the Standing Nursing and Midwifery Advisory Committee. I have not received any evidence which would justify changing these arrangements.
