Hospital Board nominees attacked in Canberra clash
Labor Party leader in the ACT Advisory Council Mr G J Walsh delivered three trenchant attacks on those who supported nominating for the Canberra Community Hospital Management Board. He warned that government appointees were government stooges and urged open meetings, urging the Minister for the Interior to press the Health Minister to ensure public access. The motion, supported by Walsh, urged transparency for all board meetings and committees, and was carried. Allan Fraser, named chair of the new board, faced scrutiny though offered no comment.
