MATRON RETIRES
St. Helens Hospital
On account of ill-health, Miss M. Bagley, who has been matron of the Wellington St. Helens Hospital for the past five years, will shortly retire.
Miss Bagley has been on the staff of several general hospitals in different centres of New Zealand. During the past ten years she has been successively matron of St. Helens hospitals at Wanganui, Christchurch, and at Wellington. Miss Bagley had done splendid work in connection with the care of maternity cases, said Dr. Agnes Bennett yesterday. Taking nursing charge at a trying time, she assisted largely in making the dual system of training maternity nurses and raidwives the undoubted Success It has now attained. The position of matron of a St, Helens hospital was particularly onerous, and much responsibility rests upon .her shoulders. During her term of office Miss Bagley had been instrumental in enlisting the interest of various, women’s organisations in Wellington, and this had resulted in much outside assistance being cheerfully given to the hospital for the comfort and welfare of the patients.
