HOSPITAL BOARD
MARLBOROUGH ADMINISTRATION
Per Press Association. BLENHEIM, March 17. The Marlborough Hospital Board resolved yesterday to grant full restoration of the salary and wages cuts imposed in 1931. A partial restoration was niade last year. The board granted the medical superintendent (Dr T. Julian) eight months’ leave of absence on full pay to enable him to take a refresher course in England conditional on his returning to the board’s service for two years.
“That is a too sweeping assertion,” declared the board’s medical superintendent, commenting on a circular from the Women’s Division of the Farmers' Union, requesting hospital boards to investigate the cause of so many young probationary nurses contracting tuberculosis. The superintendent maintained that , local experience had definitely proved that nurses who contracted tuberculosis had the disease in their family. All nurses were instructed to take the necessarv precautions against contracting infection.
“There is less chance of contracting tuberculosis in a hospital than out,” the superintendent asserted, adding that throughout the Dominion there were numerous cases of this disease never notified.
