HC Deb 21 February 1955 vol 537 cc103-4W
61. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Minister of Health if he is aware that health visitors are required to possess two more obligatory qualifications than hospital sisters, but receive less remuneration than hospital sisters; and what steps he is taking to improve the salaries, pensions and conditions of service of health visitors.

Mr. Iain Macleod

Yes, but the present salaries and conditions of service were determined by the Nurses and Midwives Whitley Council, and any revision would be a matter for that Council.
