HC Deb 09 July 1962 vol 662 c102W
69. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Minister of Health if he is aware that the practice which has grown up in hospitals of nursing sisters having to supervise and work simultaneously in male and female wards which are adjacent has been found impractical; and if he will have this system investigated and reported on in the interest of the smooth and effective working of those hospitals where it is practised.

Miss Pitt

I am not aware that this is a common or growing practice.

Perhaps the hon. and learned Gentleman will let me know if he has a particular case in mind.
