HC Deb 26 May 1971 vol 818 cc156-7W
Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if, in view of the fact that trained nurses within the National Health Service are being offered salaries of at least £3,700 per annum for a five-day week, with double pay on public holidays, by representatives from United States hospitals, he will take steps to review the salaries of nurses with a view to discouraging a loss of nurses from the National Health Service to the United States of America.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

The salaries of nurses and midwives in the National Health Service are a matter for the Nurses and Midwives Whitley Council.
