Method of deteymining beds for the purpose of calculating salaries of Matrons, Assistant Matrons, Sisters-in-Charge of Maternity Homes, Superintendent Midwives and Deparimental Midwifery Sisters. The number of beds for this purpose shall be the number of maternity beds in the maternity hospital, maternity home, or maternity department, including ante-natal beds but not including cots. In the case of a unit which is primarily a maternity unit but in which there are beds for analogous work, e.g., for the treatment of premature and sick infants, or of gynaecological cases, it is open to the employing authority, if the same officer is in charge of those beds as well as the maternity beds, to add the number of those beds (either wholly or in such proportion as they think fit) to the number of maternity beds for the purpose of calculating the salary. If the hospital or maternity home does extern midwifery work, 20 extern deliveries shall be regarded as the equivalent of one additional bed in the case of the Matron or other officer if she is in full charge of the work. If, however, there is a District Midwives Home attached to the hospital with a Superintendent or Sister-in-Charge who is in full charge of the extern midwifery work, the Superintendent or Sister-in-Charge shall receive the appropriate salary laid down in Table II, and no account shall be taken of the extern midwifery work in determining the salary of the Matron or other institutional officer. If the Matron or other institutional officer, while not in full charge, exercises some super- vision over the Superintendent or Sister-in-Charge of the District Midwives Home, it is within the discretion of the employing authority to take some account of the extern mid- wifery work in determining her salary, provided that an appropriate adjustment is made in the salary of the Superintendent or Sister-in-Charge. Where hospitals or maternity homes have had their accommodation reduced or in- creased as a result of the war, we RECOMMEND that the principles set out on pages 7 and 8 of the Points of Interpretation (NURSES S.C. Notes No. 1) prepared by the Nurses Salaries Committee should be followed. 2. Deputy Superintendent Midwife. The appointment of a Deputy Superintendent Midwife would be necessary only in a few of the largest midwifery departments, and it would be impracticable to devise equit- able national scales for such midwives. Where such an appointment is made, we RECOMMEND that it shall be left to the discretion of the employing authority to determine an appropriate scale. ' 3. Midwifery Teacher, In all cases where the number of pupils allowed by the Central Midwives Board to be in training in a training institution is six oy more, the Midwifery Teacher will be entitled
