ALLEGATION DENIED
MENTAL HOSPITAL NURSES Wellington, This Day. | A denial that any nurse employed at, ! Kuigseat Mental Hospital had ever j broken down mentally or become insane was made by the Minister in J Charge of Menial Hospitals, the Hon. | A. H. Nordmeyer. when referring to ] a statement reported to have been made i in proceedings before the Manpower (Industrial) Committee at Whangarei. during an appeal by a mental hospital I nurse for her release from duty at ; Kingseat. j The Minister said that an allegation ! was reported to have been made that ! since January two nurses had broken i down and one had become insane. This I statement was quite untrue, as at no I time had any nurse employed at Kingseat broken down mentally or become insane. He deplored the publication of I such incorrect statements, which tended | to have a bad effect on the recruit 1 ment of mental hospital staffs.
