Written StatementsI would like to inform the House of two inaccuracies in a statement I made in response to the Opposition day debate on A&E services in the House of Commons and to correct the record.
First, I stated that the number of training places for nurses,
“is now at a record level.”—[Official Report, 24 June 2015; Vol. 597, c. 921.]
Nurse training commissions are at near record levels, following an increase of training commissions of 14% over the last two years.
Secondly, I referred to the Salford Royal Hospital,
“saving £5 billion a year.”—[Official Report, 24 June 2015; Vol. 597, c. 924.]
when the correct figure is “£5 million a year.”
