HC Deb 19 June 1963 vol 679 cc61-2W
Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will state the new subjects which he announced on 11th June would be included in the ordinary grade of the Scottish Certificate of Education and the new two-year course for girls who want to become State enrolled nurses; and when each of these changes will come into effect.

Mr. Noble

Human anatomy, physiology and health will form a combined subject for examination in the ordinary grade of the Scottish Certificate of Education, which it is hoped to introduce in May, 1965. These subjects will also be included in the new two-year course for prospective enrolled nurses which education authorities have been asked to introduce at the beginning of session 1963–64
