Proper Treatment For Midwives

EDM number 31 in 1989-90, proposed by Audrey Wise on 21/11/1989.

That this House calls the attention of the Government to the anomaly whereby qualified nurses who became student midwives prior to 1st April 1988 are on Grade D, commencing ú8,565 whereas many student midwives who commenced training after that date are on Grade E, commencing ú9,815, because they had been placed on that higher grade as nurses, and the further anomaly whereby a Grade E nurse who has retained that grade while a student midwife may well find herself reverting to Grade D as a qualified midwife; and calls on the Government to accept the recommendations of the Fourth Report of the Select Committee on Social Services issued in April 1989 on the subject of midwives' re-grading, which would remove these anomalies and improve the position of midwives, in recognition of the vital highly skilled and responsible work carried out by them for the benefit of mothers and babies.

This motion has been signed by a total of 99 MPs.
