HC Deb 17 July 1968 vol 768 c230W
74. Dame Irene Ward

asked the Minister of Health if he will now state his future policy with regard to state-registered nurses who take their midwifery or any further nursing qualification; and if he will give an assurance that salary incentives for increased skills will be introduced and that state-registered nurses on attaining additional qualifications will not incur a reduction of salary.

Mr. K. Robinson

The recommendations of the National Board for Prices and Incomes on allowances during training and increments thereafter are for negotiation in the Nurses and Midwives Whitley Council.
