HOSPITAL LOSSES “This committee is perturbed at the persistent rumours of thieving said to be taking place within the hospital, and recommends that the next specific case of theft be reported to the Police Department for a thorough investigation,” reported the finance committee to Monday’s meeting of the Cook Hospital Board. Tiie recommendation arose out of a discussion on a complaint from a Gisborne man that an article of jewellery belonging to his late wife had not been returned to him with her other effects after her death in hospital. The committee had been informed that staff investigations had been made without result. The committee also reported that a cheque for £lO/18/9, representing wages due to an employee now in Rotorua, had been presented with an incorrect endorsement. The payee had reported that the cheque had not reached her, and that the endorsement was a forgery. The matter had been placed in the hands of the bank for investigation.
