NURSES FOR PORIRUA
APPEALS AT WELLINGTON.
WELLINGTON, June 2
About twenty appeals against the decision of the Wellington Manpower Officer directing women, mostly young, to'service as nurses at Porirua Mental Hospital, are being heard to-day at Wellington. The Manpower Officer stated that every means had been taken to secure additions to the staff of the mental hospital without sufficient voluntary response, and he quoted the Prime Minister’s statement that, unless an improvement materialised, girls in other employment must be directed there. All the girls appealing have been medically examined and were reported lit tor work. Amongst the objections in the cases heard so far, the grounds stated were fear and hardship. The necessity of taking adequate care, of the unfortunate in such hospitals was ’ stressed by the Industrial. Manpower Committee. Decisions were reserved. .
