HC Deb 19 March 1968 vol 761 c57W
45. Mr. Leadbitter

asked the Minister of Health what advice he has given to the hospital service liberalise the regulations affecting the working conditions of nurses and to remove petty disciplines which are a recurring source; of complaint.

47. Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Minister of Health when he now expects to receive from the National Board for Prices and Incomes the report on nurses' pay; and, meanwhile, what steps he intends to take to ensure that nurses are not subjected to unnecessary restrictions by their hospital superiors.

Mr. K. Robinson

I am sending my hon. Friends a copy of a memorandum I issued last September, in which I drew attention to problems of communications, including "off-duty" restrictions. I expect to receive the Board's report on pay not later than 29th March.
