§ Mr. George Thomasasked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list the hospitals in Wales that have not been able to reach their full complement of nursing staff.
§ Mr. Peter ThomasNo precise complements are laid down for nursing staff since the requirements vary according to circumstances. Despite an increase in Wales in the past year of 830 nurses (whole-time equivalents), all hospital management committees in the Principality are in need of more nursing staff.
