HC Deb 19 May 1969 vol 784 c3W
61. Mr. Crouch

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will consider introducing tests for the selection of nurses in order to reduce the wastage which is at present occurring.

Mr. Crossman

Statutory minimum qualifications have been laid down for entry to student nurse training, and the General Nursing Council is investigating the possibility of introducing tests for pupil nurses.
