HIGHER PAY OF NURSES
Si AFFING DIFFICULTIES AT WANGANUI EVERYTHING POSSIBLE BEING DONE "The medical superintendent and acting-matron are doing everything they can to make conditions as congen/ I as possible for the staff," stated a report of the House Committee of the Wanganui Hospital Board, to a meeting of the board yesterday. The chairman of the board, Mr. W. E. Broderick, referring to staffing difficulties, said that the Wanganui remit sent to the New Zealand Hospital Boards’ Association conference at New I lymouth, asking for better pay lor nurses, had been withdrawn, as the Nurses Industrial Union would shortly reach an agreement on rates of wages with the Hospitals’ Association. Mr. Broderick could assure the board that the new rates of pay for nurses would be better than at present, as it was now widely realised that the wages paid to nurses were not commensurate with the duties they had to perform in the course of their work for the community.
