Lieut. - Commander Hutchisonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether all outstanding claims for increases of salary by health visitors, domiciliary midwives, domiciliary nurses and theatre sisters have now been settled by the appropriate Whitley Councils; and if he can give details of the new salary scales.
§ Miss HerbisonI understand that the Nurses and Midwives Whitley Council have now reached agreement on the salaries of health visitors, domiciliary nurses and midwives and theatre sisters. Higher grades in the public health and domiciliary nursing and midwifery service have yet to be dealt with. I will send the hon. Member full particulars of the new scales as soon as they are available.
