WARKWORTH HOSPITAL.
a CONTINUANCE NOT WARRANTED." COMMITTEE'S CONCLUSION. The house committee of the Auckland Hospital Board, after a visit to the Warkworth Cottage Hospital, found that the continuance of the institution was not warranted, and recommended yesterday that the whole question of services in the district be reconsidered at the end of the financial year. The chairman of the. board, Mr. W. Wallace, said the committee found that in the institution there was one patient, with a staff of five, plus a part-time porter. The board would have to consider whether it would continue the hospital, or lease it, possibly with a subsidy of, say, £250 a year. At present it was being run at a loss, varying from £1041 in 1930 to £862 last year. The report was adopted.
