Auckland Hospital Staff Changes Questioned
[Special To “Northern Advocate”! AUCKLAND, This Day.
The contemplated staff changes at the Auckland Hospital were discussed when a deputation from the honorary staff waited upon the Minister of Health, the Hon. P. Fraser today. The memorandum presented by the deputation referred to the proposal by the hospital board to appoint two fulltime stipendiary directors, one of surgery and one of medicine, and to dispense with Ihe medical superintendent and replace him with a lay man-ager-secretary.
The reasons for seeking the assistance of the Minister were that the proposals were drastic and vitally affected the work of the clinical staff. The proposals were hastily passed by a small majority of the board and unconsidered haste was being evident in putting them into effect.
No opportunity of consultation with the visiting staff was offered by the board.
Mr Fraser in reply, said that he would refer the matter to the DirectorGeneral of Health and the Auckland Hospital Board, with a view to getting the maximum efficiency of service.
