Should not the Matron be
responsible directly to the
Managers for the efficiency
of the Nursing Establishment?
That is to say: the Matron
who is the proper head of the
female Staff, who (& not
the Medical Officer) ought
to know what Nursing is.
She is not merely to "aid"
him in doing her duty: but
to be directly responsible to
the chief authorities for the
efficient carrying out of his
directions.
