Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Brooke of Alverthorpe (Labour). It was answered on Thursday, 8 December 2005.


NHS: Staff Facilities

Question
My Lords, although I welcome the news that we will have a review that will report in the spring, could we make certain that that it looks at European practice? The information that I have indicates that, in some European countries, legislation exists to prevent nurses and doctors going out into the streets in their uniforms. They must change before they go out. Could we ensure that, while we are trying to raise expenditure in the NHS to European standards, we also try to do the same in this area?
Answer

My Lords, we are always willing to learn from abroad. I will ensure that that is looked into in the review that I have mentioned.
