TUBERCULOSIS INQUIRY
MINISTER DENIES CHARGES. By Telegraph, —Press Association. Auckland, May 21. "That is a totally incorrect view,” said the Hon. J. A. Young, referring to a statement attributed to Dr. Blackmore, director of the tuberculosis institution in North Canterbury, that the Health Department was appointing a commission to try to discredit the work that had been done and was being done in the South Island. The Minister said he would welcome the eo-operation of Dr. Blackmore in any work done to help the suffering. He had appointed three physicians of outstanding ability to act as a committee of inquiry, after consulting tin executive of the British Medical Association, in order that physicians of requisite standing might be selected.
Not only would the committee visit the main centres, but the physicians would inspect all the sanatoria in the Dominion where tuberculosis patients are cared for. The committee had been appointed to investigate thoroughly the sufficiency and adequacy of he accommodation and methods employed throughout the Dominion for the comfort and treatment of sufferers.
