§ Mrs. Dunwoodyasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether, in future, overseas student nurses working in National Health Service hospitals will be subject to charges should they require medical treatment in any form.
§ Mr. Patrick JenkinI do not envisage such charges. Student nurses, although they come here to receive training, are regarded as full-time employed persons, and218W not as visitors. No change in their eligibility has been considered. It is inconceivable that we should charge in these circumstances.
