A HOSPITAL BOARD INQUIRY
By Telegraph—Press Association. Dunedin, June 15. The Hospital Board last evening conducted a lengthy inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the death of Janies Robertson at Dunedin Hospital on April 26. Deceased was admitted at 5 o’clock the previous morning with a dental plate lodged in his throat, but was not operated on till the evening of the following day, when he died under an anaesthetic. All the medical officers concerned in the case and the medical superintendent (Dr. Falconer) were closely examined by the chairman and members of the board. Special stress was laid on the system of administration of the hospital and the apportionment of responsibiliyt. The whole of the evidence added very little to that elicited at the inquest. A shorthand record of the evidence is to be circulated among members before the board meets next Monday to come to a decision.
