Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will publish in the Official Report the number of district nurses and the ratio to population served in the areas covered by the district health authorities of Brent and South Bedfordshire.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

The latest information available centrally is that on 30 September 1982 there were 88 whole time equivalent district nurses in South Bedfordshire and 56 whole time equivalent in Brent. This represents one whole time equivalent district nurses per 3,094 population in South Bedfordshire and one per 4,457 in Brent
