HC Deb 21 October 1993 vol 230 c311W
Mr. Blunkett

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what items of work clothing and equipment are issued as standard to every NHS hospital nurse; and what is the cost to the NHS of one of each item.

Mr. Sackville

There is no standard clothing issued by all hospitals. It is a local purchasing decision for the hospital concerned and the price is dependent on size, quality and colour of uniform.
