HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT
PROPOSED LEGISLATION OBJECTED TO. AN INDIGNANT BOARD. [Pkh United Press Association.] WELLINGTON, December 22. The Hospital Board' .strongly resents tha proposed alteration refusing to allow boards to appoint medical officers, matrons, arid other officers without tirst obtaining the approval of the Minister. The chairman (Mr Castio) denounced it as a reactionary proceeding, which would bring about a reversion to a centralised bureaucratic form of control abandoned by Parliament years ago on account of its unsatisfactory results, and he urged members to support bis opposition. Members were unanimously twith him, and considered that boards would lie reduced to mere scullions, responsible for kitchen arrangements and nothing else. As the chairman put it. boards were in effect being told that they could not be trusted.
