A MATTER FOR CORRECTION.
Per Press Association. Auckland, June 3. At a meeting of the Auckland Hospital Board, the case of the young woman McMillan, who died recently while being conveyed from her home to the hospital in an ambulance, was discussed, and some serious statements were made. Miss McMillan died a few days after the death from plague of Miss Kitchen. 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 the duty of the Board, it being stated by one member that the health authorities should have properly supervised the matter. Eventually it was decided to refer the matter to the Finance Committee.
