§ Mr. Pavittasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if the cut by 4.85 per cent. on the expenditure on nurse education was made in addition to the effect of inflation upon the resources committed.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeThe annual cash limits allocated to the English National Board for Nursing, Midwifery and Health Visiting, which is responsible for the provision of nurse education, include an element for inflation. The adjustments to the cash limits for nurse education over the last two years are quite separate from the uplifts for pay and prices.
