Copies of the report of the review of nursing services in London have already been placed in the Library.
The survey of leavers between 1 July and 30 September 1987 was commissioned from the regional health authority chairmen by the review body for nursing staff, midwives, health visitors and professions allied to medicine. I understand that the results of this survey have not yet been received by the review body. When these results have been received, it will be for the review body to decide to what extent they will be made public.
