Re: [ozmidwifery] caseload

[Barry & Sonja]

I was part of a team trying to get Team Midwifery up and running in one of our larger hospitals.  Part of this included salaries. The was to be two small teams of 3 midwives and we were to be payed at the base rate plus 30%.  No penalties for weekends etc.  We felt that this would be the minimum once all penalties for nights and weekends were removed.
