AUCKLAND HOSPITAL AND MINISTER
REPLY BY CHAIRMAN OF BOARD
<P.A.) AUCKLAND, July 28. No other board in New Zealand would have been capable of doing the work the Auckland Hospital Board had done, said the chairman (Mr A. J. Moody), at a meeting of the board this evening when answering criticism made recently in the House of Representatives by the Minister of Industries and Commerce and former Minister of Health (Mr A. H. Nordmeyer).
If he thought it so incompetent why did the Minister insist that the obstetrical and gynaecological hospital should be run by the board and not by an ad hoc body? asked Mr Moody. The board had saved the Minister’s face while he held the portfolio and he had not shown his recent inclination then. His attack was ill-consid-ered and ill-conceived and the former Minister would be well advised to hold his parsonical tongue for once.
