10.10 Midwife
Like Enrolled Nurses, Midwives feel their duties are closely related to those of Registered Nurses. However, our comments on Enrolled Nurses apply equally to Midwives and their scales reflect the present relativity with Registered
Nurses.

Group II
(Grades for which the minimum educational qualification for entry to the student rank is school certificate)
10.11 Dental Hygienist
This is the only grade in this group requiring one year's training. The grade was created in July 1978 and as yet there is still no staff member holding the functional rank. We cannot therefore effectively assess this grade until it becomes operational. In the meantime we do not consider the scale for Dental Hygienist should be less than the basic scale for Form IV functional ranks and propose the minimum be raised accordingly.

10.12 Aeronautical Communications Officer
Telecommunications Officer
The staff of the Aeronautical Communications Officer grade contend that the present pay structure has resulted in recruitment and retention difficulties. No evidence of any recruitment difficulties has been demonstrated to us but there is a relatively high wastage rate among students largely through in-service transfer to other grades.
We have brought the pay scales of the Aeronautical Communications Officer grade into line with other comparable grades with student ranks performing shift duties.
We also recommend that the grade of Telecommunications Officer, which is a normal promotion outlet for Aeronautical Communications Supervisors, be merged with the Aeronautical.
