CROWDED NURSERY
Babies For Adoption (.N.Z. Press Association) | AUCKLAND, July 19. About 30 babies awaiting adoption were being accommodated at National Women's Hospital in conditions which were clinically undesirable, detrimental to the welfare of other babies and taxing on nursing staff. the Auckland Hospital Board was told last evening. The board decided to inform the Health Department of its “continuing concern” at the babies remaining indefinitely in hospital and to ask if early advice could be expected of the department's measures to overcome the problem.
The board has raised the issue twice previously. Last month it was told that discussions were continuing and that all hospital boards would be j otified “in due course."
Dr. W. E. Henley, superin-tendent-in-chief of the board’s hospitals, said the children awaiting adoption, some of whom were three or four months old, should not still be in the nursery. There were 162 babies in the nursery yesterday.
