STATUS OF NURSES.

It is notified in the "Gazette" that all members of the New Zealand Army Nursing Service employed by the Defence Department on full-time duties, who returned to New Zealand on or before January 3, 1920, excepting those in medical charge or on sick-leave on account of disabilities due to or aggravated by service, are struck off the strength of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force, and are posted temporarily to the New Zealand Army Nursing Service (Territorial) as from February 1, li)l>0, but will continue to be paid at the same rates as heretofore. The same procedure will be adopted in the case of all members of the New Zealand Army Nursing Service who may subsequently be employed by the Defence Department on full-time duties. Members of the New Zealand Army Nursing Service who, owing to the exigencies of the service, did not receive their privilege leave at an earlier date will be credited with such on the termination of their paid temporary employment, whenever that may occur.
