§ Mr. Andrew F. Bennettasked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many State registered nurses and state enrolled nurses have (i) completed their training in the year ended 31st March 1976 in each region and (ii) successfully completed their training in that year and not been offered employment as nurses.
§ Mr. DeakinsIn England and Wales 21,276 student nurses and 10,965 pupil nurses completed training and took the final examination or assessment. Some nurses made more than one attempt and figure more than once in the total. Of these totals 14,744 and 9,705 respectively were eligible for registration or enrolment. Not all do so; nor do they all seek employment in the NHS. I am not aware that any nurses who registered or enrolled in the period and were willing to move away from the area in which68W they trained failed to find jobs. Regional figures are not available.
