The new hospital employment regulations made it necessary to revise the trained staffs’ hours of duty, reported the matron in chief, Miss W. Delugar. She had called a meeting of the matrons of the four major hospitals, together with two sisters from each hospital, to discuss the proposals. The matrons could see no reasons why the new hours should not work satisfactorily.
