MORE DETAILS AWAITED
Health Department officers are pressing for a judicial inquiry Into the allegations made by a patient against the management of the State consumptive sanatorium at Greenvale, Broadmeadows.
They say that, so far as they know, there is a full answer to all the complaints.
Mr A. Downward, Minister for Health, said today that Mr E. J. Hogan, M.L.A., who voiced the complaint of the patient in Parliament, would be asked to make available the letter he read, and the name of the complainant.
On obtaining this Information, Dr. E. Robertson, Chairman of the Board of Public Health, would have the patient Interviewed.
The man would be asked to supply additional particulars, and asked if he would make charges which could be investigated. If the patient held to his allegations, Mr A. Wynne, the Attorney-General, would probably instruct a clerk in his department to obtain statements with a view to an inquiry by a police magistrate.
The Minister added that Mr Hogan, M.L.A., was out of town, and Dr. Robertson was endeavoring to reach him by post.
METHODS AT SANATORIUM ARE SUBJECT OF INQUIRY
