HC Deb 19 June 1984 vol 62 c139W
Mr. Alfred Morris

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will estimate the number of general hospitals in which it is normal for a ward to have one qualified nurse on duty alone (a) at night and (b) during the day time.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

We do not collect centrally the detailed local information which would be required to make any estimate of this kind.
