FOREWORD The country stands in urgent need of nurses and midwives, and of domestic staff for hospitals and similar institutions. The situation is extremely serious already. It is likely soon to become critical unless thousands of new recruits can be obtained quickly. If they are not obtained, large numbers of people urgently requiring treatment will be unable to gain admission to hospital and many patients in hospital will not receive the attention they need. The Government therefore appeal to all men and women who either have experience in this work or who feel that they might do well in it — and particularly to young people who are at this moment thinking about their choice of a career — to come and play their part in this great held of service. The purpose of this paper is not only to emphasize the real and immediate need for a generous response to the hospitals' urgent call for help. It sets forth in outline the various measures on which the Government and the representatives of the organisations concerned with the hospital services are unanimously agreed. All who respond to the call may be assured that the needs of the hospitals and the welfare of those who work in them will have the full and constant attention of the Government, the hospital authorities and all others concerned. The adequate staffing of the hospitals is an urgent national need. It is vital to the successful operation of the new National Health Service. It must be met. ANEURIN BEVAN, Minister of Health. JOSEPH WESTWOOD, Secretary of State for Scotland. GEORGE ISAACS, Minister of Labour and National Service.
