HC Deb 20 July 1961 vol 644 c165W
75. Mr. Hale

asked the Minister of Health, in view of the fact that an additional ward at the Boundary Park Hospital, equipped two years ago, remains unopened, as well as the ward in the geriatrics department, and that both are due to failure to recruit nurses, what further steps he has in contemplation for the recruitment of nurses in Oldham; and what is their nature.

Mr. Powell

I will write (to the hon. Member as soon as I have completed the inquiries mentioned in my reply on 13th July.
