HC Deb 20 January 2003 vol 398 cc146-7W
Dr. Evan Harris

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what the average value is of the bursary for students of nursing degrees in terms of pounds per hour. [88659]

Mr. Hutton

Nursing degree students are required to complete a minimum number of training hours over the whole of any course. The number of actual hours of study in an academic year will vary considerably. There are also significant variations in the levels of bursary degree students receive to take account of individual circumstances.

For these reasons it is not possible to provide an average value of nursing students' bursaries in terms of pounds per hour.
