DENTAL CLINIC

(To the. Editor) Sir,—l have waited for several weeks now expecting to hear that a third nurse had been appointed to the local Dental Clinic, but no announcement has yet been made. Can you give any explanation? What is the present position? Has the Dental Clinic Committee done anything to disprove the charges made against it at the public meeting called some weeks ago? Is it sectarianism after all? There must be some explanation of this state of affairs and the sooner the matter is settled the better it will be for everyone. I am, etc., a —BEWILDERED. When the above letter was referred to Mi" Alex Donald, chairman of the Dental Clinic Committee, Mr Donald said that the committee had been making representations for some considerable time past for the appointment of a third nurse. Although a communica- ' tion had been received on March 1G from the Director of Dental Hygiene stating that the application for a third nurse had been approved by the Minister of Health, and that definite information about the appointment would be forwarded as soon as the Department was in a position to do so, nothing further had been heard about it. Sectarianism, said Mr Donald, had never entered into the question at all.
