§ Mr. Hooleyasked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many nurses are employed per head of population within the area of the Sheffield Area Health Authority; and how this compares with the average for England and Wales.
§ Mr. MoyleOn 30th September 1975 there were 920 nursing and midwifery staff (whole-time equivalent) per 100,000 resident population in Sheffield and 710 in England and Wales. The figures reflect the fact that Sheffield AHA(T) provides services to a population greater than its resident population.
