NURSING CONDITIONS
IMPROVEMENT PROMISED Press Association CHRISTCHURCH, Friday. The question of the improvement of the working conditions of nurses was referred to the Minister of Health, the Hon. A. J. Stallworthy, to-day. ‘‘Nursing is an honourable profession and I shall use my influence to make the profession as attractive as possible in order to make it an inducement to the young womanhood of the country,” he said. “Cases have come to my knowledge of nurses working for such long hours and under such arduous conditions that both the nurses themselves and the patients are prejudiced. I realise that the question is largely a domestic one with local hospital boards and do not wish to interfere, but I shall certainly take steps to ensure an improvement in working conditions for nurses.”
