HC Deb 14 April 1970 vol 799 cc229-30W
Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether, as part of the effort to attract more married women back into nursing, he will encourage the provision of day nurseries at hospitals where the nursing shortages are greatest.

Mr. Crossman

Hospitals already have authority to provide day nurseries where there are insufficient facilities available locally and where the likely increase in staff warrants the expenditure involved.
