Hospital Committee debate over press access to meetings
The Forbes District Hospital committee debated press coverage of a public health complaint against the hospital. Rev Cruikshank criticized papers for publishing the matron’s reply to a private letter from Sister Gardner of Cromble Private Hospital. Members argued whether reports should be private or public and pressed for transparency while noting the press’s long fight for access. The chair ordered the matron’s report to be shared with the Health Department, and discussions touched on the establishment of a children’s ward and the hospital’s public duties.
