HC Deb 30 November 1976 vol 921 cc96-7W
35. Dr. Vaughan

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will make a statement on unemployment among members of the nursing profession.

Mr. Deakins

I understand that the latest Department of Employment figures show that there were 3,276 qualified nurses registering as unemployed in England in September 1976. These will include nurses seeking employment in the private sector. Posts are still available for qualified nurses in the NHS.
