HC Deb 26 March 1962 vol 656 c84W
65. Mr. Owen

asked the Minister of Health if he is satisfied that the working week of 44 hours for nursing staff is being maintained; what supplementary staff is necessary to sustain the 44-hour week; and whether he will make a statement.

Miss Pitt

The great majority of nurses are working the 88-hour fortnight. Exceptions are steadily diminishing.
