§ Mr. Pavittasked the Minister of Health whether he has considered the Report of the Committee on Senior Nursing Staff Structure; and whether he will make a statement.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonMy right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Scotland and I are considering the recommendations of the Committee, to whose Chairman and members we should like to pay tribute for a most valuable and comprehensive report. The Committee itself recognised that before decisions on its recommendations could be taken wide consultation with hospital authorities, professional bodies and other organisations concerned would be necessary. We are asking the authorities and bodies concerned for their views.
