Warning to nurses
PA Auckland Improved working conditions for nurses this year were unlikely after pay rises of up to 40 per cent, said the Minister of Health, Dr Bassdt. He said the wage increases would cost the Government about $125 million, leaving it with little to spend on improving working conditions. He was responding to a
claim by the Nurses’ Society director, Mr David Wills, that to attract more nurses to short-staffed hospitals, work conditions would need to be improved. Dr Bassett said costly improvements would threaten the professional standard of nursing. Hospital boards were likely to &less and employ uned staff instead of trained nurses.
