Ms Primarolo
To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many nurses trained as specialists in paediatrics in each of the last five years.
Mr. Sackville
The figures give the numbers starting paediatric nurse training and the numbers completing paediatric nurse training in England at year ending 31 March.
1988 | 1989 | 1990 | 1991 | 1992 | |
Intakes to training | 710 | 810 | 850 | 1,090 | 1,180 |
Completing training | 780 | 700 | 770 | 850 | 890 |
Note: The number completing training in 1988 is greater than the number of intakes to training in the same year because those completing refer to intakes in previous years.
