Sat 06 Jun 2009Veteran nurse raised funds by writing plays
Mona Grey: DR MONA GREY, who has died in her 99th year, was the diminutive but redoubtable nurse who was Northern Ireland's first chief nursing officer in the department of health and social services from 1960 until 1975. During this period she played a central role in restructuring the management of the hospital and community nursing services and introducing the training of health visitors.
Mona Grey was the daughter of missionaries and was born and brought up in Rawalpindi, in what is now Pakistan. She attended St Bede's, the teachers' training college in Shimla, where she obtained a diploma, but taught for only a short time.
