HC Deb 18 May 1989 vol 153 c257W
Mr. Wigley

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what provision there is in Wales for student nurses, whose first language is Welsh, to study for nursing qualifications; and if he will list those schools of nursing in Wales who provide training for nurses whose first language is Welsh.

Mr. Grist

For individuals in Wales to register and practise as a nurse they must obtain qualifications prescribed by the United Kingdom central council for nursing, midwifery and health visiting. Registration enables nurses to practise anywhere in the United Kingdom. Student nurses in Wales are therefore trained solely through the medium of English.
