NAPIER HOSPITAL TROUBLE.
(Special to Herald.)
NAPIER, this day,
The case of Nurse Brown occupied a very prominent place at yesterday's meeting of the Hospital Trustees. • The Chairman (Mr Crahby) reported that the retention of Nurse Brown's services would not be conducive to harmony at the institution. Either the matron or nurse must go. He had therefore askfed Nurse Brown totake three motiths'leafe of absence on 'full* pay, and if the- Board would riot sanction this, he Would pay it himself. .Nurse Brown would npt agree to this course, and she consulted Messrs Cresswell and Gleeson, who^vrote to him, setting out the nurse's legal'position. He referred the letter to Sainsbury, Logan, and . Williams/ '.. *whb advised that under rule 24- of the hospital it was quite competent for the Board, ,if they thought a nurse should be' dismissed, to give her a month's notice. He thought they should abide by this advice, and he move'd "That Nurse Brown be giv^ri; one month's, notice" from May Ist. After some -discussion, the motion was carried by five to two. Mr McGrath - gave notice to move at next sitting: "That an enquiry be held into the management/ of 'the. hospital."
