ARTIFICIAL LIMBS
FOR MARRIED SERVICE MEN MANUFACTURE LONG DELAYED. R.S.A. VICE-PRESIDENT’S CRITICISM. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. “Until the Government makes up its mind what it intends to do about the rehabilitation scheme, we cannot go ahead,” declared Mr C. O. Bell, vicepresident of the R.S.A., when officially opening the annual conference of war amputees. The Government’s rehabilitation policy was excellent in theory,” said Mr Bell, but nothing practical had been achieved towards implementing the scheme because the Government apparently had not made up its mind whether it. was to have a permanent rehabilitation board or to carry on as at present. A Director of Rehabilitation had been applied for at £l,OOO a year, and until this appointment had been made and the recently-appointed Minister took over in earnest, rehabilitation could not go ahead. One instance of delay was the agreement between the Disabled Service Men’s Re-estab-lishment League and the board regarding the manufacture of .artificial limbs. The document had been in the hands of the board for twelve months, and as far as he knew it had not been signed by the board, though he understood it had been finalised.
