Young, replying to a deputation from the Linwood ('Christchurch) School yesterdayasking for a dental clinic. “It requires a staff of approximately 400 nurses who have to be found and trained in New Zealand,” continued Mr Young. “We are reaching 40,000 children 'today, and when I came into office we were training 20 nurses a year. As a "result of my representations to the Government the number of trainees has been increased to 35 per year. I am anxious to extend the school dental service as rapidly as -possible, as with 80 nurses in the field we are able to reach only 40,000 children. ’ ’ Mr Young added that, there seemed to be an idea that poor people were to be found only in the industrial centres, but he could assure the deputation that in the rural districts of the North Island there were many people genuinely poor, and the department had to do something to meet their requirements. There were already 250 applications for clinics on the department ’s list.
