PUBLIC SERVICE-TESTS
EMPHATIC PROTEST
MENTAL HOSPITAL STAFF
(Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day
The male nursing attendants at the Porirua Mental Hospital met recently and decided to record an emphatic protest against the efficiency examinations, as outlined in the public service circular, on the grounds that the exams are unnecessary for practical purposes for all officers who have passed their senior State examinations. that definite hardship would be caused to those officers of a mature age, who comprise the majority of the male nursing staff, that the efficiency tests, as outlined, are a misnomer and. if taken as the deciding factor for promotion beyond the rank ot senior attendant, would prove to be a retrograde step towards the efficiency of the department. It is asked that the tests be withdrawn in their present form.
