The Committee asks the Government to provide statistics on the number of entrants to the professions covered by the Convention (nurses, nursing aides, auxiliaries, etc.), the numbers of nursing personnel by sector of activity, level of training and function, and as compared to the population, the number of patients and the numbers of other workers in the health sector.

Point V of the report form. The Committee asks the Government to provide information under this point of the report form, on the application of the Convention in practice, in accordance with these provisions of the Convention.
