NAPIER COMMISSION SITS IN CAMERA
LSpecial to “Northern Advocate ”l NAPIER, This Day. The Royal Commission discussed in camera yesterday afternoon working conditions as they affected the nursing staff of the Napier Public Hospital. Counsel for the Health Department, Mr N. A. Foden, said he proposed to call some of the nurses, and suggested that the public should be excluded from the court, and that the Press should be requested not to publish the evidence. The chairman, Mr E. D. Mosley, said that the public would readily understand why, because they wanted the truth from nervous and probably reluctant nurses. He asked that no newspaper report be published. Permission for the chairman and managing secretary of the board to remain in the chamber was refused. The commission spent yesterday afternoon hearing the evidence of three nurses.
