Recommendations
We consider that, in view of the very large numbers of student nurse candidates that will be required to fill existing and new general nurse training schools, the qualifications for acceptance as a student nurse (in respect of requiring two science subjects amongst the subjects passed in candidates' General Certificate of Education examinations) might well be relaxed.
We recommend that in order to reduce the wastage of trained general nurses and to attract trained general nurses back into Government service, incremental credit be awarded for approved post-registration qualifications and for approved previous experience.
We recommend the establishment of a school to produce dental nurses, as a first step towards giving dental care to school-children. This will also involve the construction of a school-children's dental clinic.
While hesitating to fix on any particular ratio figure of dentists to population at present, we recommend that plans should be made for a dental school starting with a pre-clinical annual intake of at least 40, and with an annual output of about 60 dentists from 1980 onwards.
109 to 111 Currently an experiment in community nursing is being carried out by voluntary agencies, and we recommend that consideration be given to the question whether the agencies should be encour- aged by Government to continue the experiment, and whether the service should be expanded.
119, 120
We recommend that, with a view to reducing the number of occupational accidents and traffic accidents, vigorous publicity campaigns be in- stituted on these two subjects.
