§ Mr. Hirstasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the total number of rooms used for nurses' accommodation in Scotland at the latest convenient date; and of that number how many comply with current fire safety regulations.
§ Mr. John MacKayInformation in the form requested is not held centrally, but I am satisfied that health boards have given the safety of nurses' accommodation particular attention over the last few years. Health boards are required to ensure that all statutory requirements relating to fire precautions and fire safety are observed in all premises for which they are responsible.
