SOLDIERS’ GRIEVANCES
PERSONAL INVESTIGATION PRO'
MISED. Proa Association.
AUCKLAND, February 5
The Hon. James Allen, Defence Minister, states that he intends to make personal investigation regarding soldiers* complaints, with a view to locate any flaw in the administration. In bis original memorandum he advised that when a soldier arrived by transport the Defence Department was responsible for bis transport to hospital, and that when a man reached hospital, the Defence Department was to notify the Health Department. When a man was charged from hospital it was the duty of the Health Department to notify the Defence Department. It appeared this! had not been done systematically, with the result that occasionally when a man was discharged from hospital his pay warrants wore compiled on a shilling a day (hospital) pay. So complaints arose.
