THE MINISTER AND THE HOSPITAL BOARD.
The statement issued yesterday by the Minister of Health, the Hon. Peter Fraser, should serve pretty decisively to justify the Napier Hospital Board in the decisions and actions taken by it which led to the setting up of a Royal Coimnission. The Ministorf after studying the Coinmission's reporfc and the evidence accompanyingi it, agrees entirely with the conclusions reached, thus elfectively disposing of the very much less responsible publio criticisms to which it was recently subjected. At the same time, however, he indicates that the Commission went somewbat beyond the scope of its functions in making suggestions regarding hospital control and mauagement gienerally. In any event, he sces no reason for making any change so far as Napier and Hastings hospitals are concerned, thus, inferentially at any rate, intimating his 6atisfaction with the competence of tho present Board. It will now be for him to say what the next move, if any, should be.
