NURSING AIDS
QUESTION OF LIVING AT HOME. HOSPITAL BOARD TO DEFINE POLICY. Whether, as a matter of policy, nursing aids at the Grey town Hospital should be allowed to live out rather than on the hospital premises was a question raised by Mr W. B. Martin at today’s meeting of the Wairarapa Hospital Board. The board decided to leave the matter in the hands of Messrs H. H. Mawley (chairman) and J. F. Thompson (Greytown) to consult the Matron of the Greytown Hospital with a view to formulating a policy. Mr Martin said if one application were granted all future applications would have to be granted. the Managing-Secretary, Mr Norman Lee, said the matrons of the hospitals desired that the aids should live in, as the matrons then had more control.
Stating that she failed to see how the board could be placed at a disadvantage, Miss C. McKenny observed that it was an advantage to a well-behaved girl to live at home with her mother. Mrs J. Robertson said it was a difficult matter regarding nursing trainees.
Mr Mawley emphasised that the question only related to nursing aids at the Greytown Hospital.
