INDIGENT SICK.
OUT-PATIENT TREATMENT.
GISBORNE EXPERIMENT.
,<By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)
GISBORNE, Sunday.
It lias been decided by the Cook Hospital Board to spend £150 upon a trial period of out-patient treatment for indigent sick. The decision
is the outcome of a proposal made three months ago by Dr. H. Goulding Rice, who said certain advantages would.be gained Ijy arranging with the medical profession in Gisborne for domiciliary treatment designed to prevent the advancement of illncoses to the acute stages.
Dr. Rice said much work for indigent people had been done in the past by doctors in Gisboriio without charge. By promoting a scheme under which there would be no sense of financial obligation between people genuinely unable to pay and their doctors it should be possible to remove a great deal of hardship and at the same time check illnesses in theirincipient stages.
