DEATH OF A HOSPITAL PATIENT
Press Association. AUCKLAND, last night. At a meeting of tho Auckland Hospital Board tho case of tho young woman, Miss MacMillan, who died recently while being conveyed from her home to the hospital in an ambulance, was discussed, and some ser- ■ ous statements were made. Mlsb
McMillan died a few days after the death from plague of Miss Kitchen, and it was asserted that the driver of the ambulance would not allow her sister to accompany deceased, who was in a very weak state, and one member of the Board characterised the whole thing as almost a disgrace to a civilised community. It was considered by some that a nurse should accompany the ambulance, but exception was taken to this on the ground of expense and that it was not. tho duty of tho Board, it being stated by one member that the health authorities should have properly supervised the matter. Eventually it was decided to refer tlie mattor to the finance committee.
