HC Deb 03 November 1999 vol 337 c235W
Mr. Llwyd

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what initiatives are being pursued to attract more young people into nursing in Wales; and what is the cost of these initiatives. [96253]

Mr. Hanson

The responsibility for recruitment of nurses in Wales rests with the National Assembly for Wales. I understand however that there are currently significant more applications to join the nursing profession in Wales, than there are places available.
