There is no provision for the temporary replacement of a school secretary on maternity leave under the terms of the scheme under which such secretaries are employed. Consequently I am not in a position to facilitate the school in question.
The position in relation to this scheme is similar to that which applies to other clerical staff in public and local authorities.
