Other groups listed in Appendix III have functions which are less exclusively scientific and technical, and some of these are being studied by other committees and working parties. We suggest that the Ministers might arrange for consideration of the extent to which our recommendations might be applied to these groups. We do, however, make a few comments on some of these classes. 5.10. We mentioned in 2.12. that we have received evidence about the inclusion of clinical psychologists (A.3.) We ourselves were unable to reach a firm decision and we propose that the Ministers should study this further in consultation with the profession. 5.11. We think that it would be appropriate to include departments of medical illustration in the Scientific Service, and that medical artists (D.7) and photo- graphers (C.7) should enjoy the benefits of its career structure.
