PQ 254
368 Dr. Cowley asked the Minister for Health and Children if his attention has been drawn to the unfair treatment of public health nurses or professionals at local and national level, due to the failure of the Health Services Employers Agency to recognise them as clinical nurse specialists as recognised by the commission for nursing 1998; his views on whether such recognition as clinical nurse specialists is deserved, in view of the fact that it is essential that public health nurses have three qualifications (details supplied) and that other disciplines with fewer qualifications are designated clinical nurse specialists; his further views on whether this is unfair and an anomaly; that it is demoralising that public health nurses are denied their legal and professional right; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
