HC Deb 12 February 1982 vol 17 c497W
Mr. Sheerman

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many qualified nurses are registered unemployed.

Dr. Vaughan

This information is not collected by the Department. The Department of Employment provides quarterly returns of the number of nurses and midwives registered as unemployed and on the basis of those returns, in December 1981 5,631 qualified nurses and midwives were registered as unemployed in England.
