HC Deb 18 October 1982 vol 29 cc65-6W
Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will take steps to ensure that qualified nurses working within the family practitioner service will be employed by the district health authority in common with other nurses.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

[pursuant to his reply, 30 July 1982, c. 859]We do not propose to change the existing arrangements whereby nurses working with family practitioners are employed either by the district health authority and attached to or associated with a general practice or by the family doctor himself.
