WAIPARA COUNTY HOSPITAL.
TO THE EDITOR OF "TFTE rEESS." Sir, —I notice the report of the meeting? held at Waipara says: —"The difficulties of procuring a suitable staff are insurmountable." * That statement is presumptuous on their part, seeing that the Hospftal Board, in approving of j and preparing to carry out the . scheme, and who ought to know the j position in that connexipn, have under- j takon that responsibility. And the | fact of a scarcity of doctors and nurses is an argument in favour of building . this maternity home and casualty ward at oncej to assist them to- concentrate •
their -work ami pntients. The number of b : rths in the BVnheiin institution, including one to tho Mayor of that town, as recently stated by tho Hon. G. TV. Kussell, and the fact that while tho nursing homo was open at Hnwarden it was rene:ited!y full, and other similar institutions that could bo named, clearly show tho vnluo of such institutions, nnd disproves the statement that the maternity part of tlio institution would not bo used. —Yours, etc., 1 ri? OGRESS. Hawarden, May 21st.
