§ Dr. Lynne JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for Health when the health service careers department last advertised for trainee nurses in Birmingham; and how many of the last intake to qualify have obtained jobs within the NHS.
§ Mr. SackvilleThere is no health service careers department. The last advertising campaign run by the Department of Health was in 1991–92. Details of local recruitment campaigns and jobs for qualifiers are not held centrally. The hon. Member may wish to contact Sir Donald Wilson, chairman of West Midlands regional health authority for details.
