WILSON HOME
BENEFITS OF SOCIAI/ SECURITY ACT Following a ruling from the Di-rector-General of Health, Dr M. H. Watt, a number of subsidiary " institutions administered by the Auckland Hospital Board are to be included within the scope of the benefits of the Social Security Act. The Board has been informed that the hospital benefits would cover treatment in the Franklin Memorial Hospital, the Warkworth Cottage Hospital, the Wilson Home for Crippled Children, the Alexandra Home and the Auckland Infirmary. Dr Watt added that the position at the infirmary, however, was that benefits would be paid as a general rule only in respect of hospital treatment afforded in recognised infirmary wards. In this connection, the Minister had approved the recognition, for the purposes of hospital benefits of all accommodation at the institution permanently reserved for patients requiring in-patient treatment.
