asked the Minister for Health if it is proposed to review the pension rates of mental nurses who retired prior to 1940, with a view to bringing such rates into closer relation to the cost of living.

As indicated in my reply to a similar question on the 27th April last, any proposal for reviewing the pensions of officers and servants of mental hospital authorities who retired before the 1st July, 1940, must be examined in relation to the adjustment of pensions of superannuated officers and servants of public authorities, both central and local, as a whole. The matter is still under active consideration by the Departments concerned and it is expected that an announcement can be made in the near future.
