Tho North Canterbury Hospital and Charitablo Aid Board yesterday decidcd to refer t» tho Lytteltorv Boronßb Council a letter icccivod from tho Actinpr Inopoctor-General of Hospitals (Dr. It. H. tho Mtablishing of maternity provwion at Lytr toiton. In tho coursc of his letter Dr. Makgill said: —"As there is a St. Helens Il<vs;.iul in Chriatchorch, 1 am of opinion that tho institution at Lyttolton should lx> run rnoro or letis in conjunction with St, Helc'-.a. Tlio deputation (to tho Minister of l*ublic roprooented thai ono of the cliicf reasons for establishing tho Lyttelton hospital was tho difficulty of cettin-f women to St. Heloua when the train servieo was not runninp, i.e., on Sundays and at nijht. The function of tho institution would be accomplished probably if accommodation were provided sufficient to deal with tho cnees that would thus lie excluded from St. Helens. I would sujjifpst that a two-bod maternity vrnrd. in charge, of ft resident nurse-midwife should meet this purpose. I would further suggest thai tho muso-midwifo bo attached to tho staff of tho St. Helens hospital nnd therefore .*>aid by the Department. Pleas® let mo know i: this would meet the wishes of your Boaitl."
