Ms. Walley

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Services (1) why audiology technicians are not paid on PTA scales; and if he will make a statement ;

(2) why audiology technicians are not included in a pay review body; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Newton

Audiology technicians are graded as physiological measurement technicians (PMTs—audiology) whose pay is for negotiation in the professional and technical staffs B Whitley council. PMTs (audiology) do not satisy all the criteria drawn up at the time the review body structure was established.
