Different subject: Why are renters, paying $150 to $240 for a service-less room in a multi-storeyed converted office building, exposed to danger on top of that rort, by having no fire-proofed walls to protect them from the actions of others? I also worry about the personal safety of the nurses sheltering there. Readers may not realise that there used to be two high rise dorms on the Wellington Hospital grounds (Nurses' Homes 2 & 3), until they were pulled down along with the historic brick Nurses' Home with the dining room (Nurses' Home 1). It certainly had fire escapes. We used them to sneak in and avoid the Matron on Duty from spotting us during the early hours of the morning. With hospitals, 50 years later, relying on imported nursing staff who have a great deal of trouble finding affordable accomodation while working shifts, it would seem a shame that these buildings were not retained. They hadn't been up that many years before they were demolished.
