Proceeding contribution from Dan Poulter (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 30 January 2017. It occurred during e-petition debate on Agenda for Change: NHS Pay Restraint.
Agenda for Change: NHS Pay Restraint
The hon. Lady makes a good point about bursaries. Most nurses enter the profession in their late 20s—at about 28 or 29. We are talking about a recruitment challenge in nursing and the fact that the number of applicants for nursing courses dropped by 25% this year. Surely that demographic group needs the bursary as an enticement into nursing.
