NEW HOSPITAL TO COST LESS
MODIFIED PLANS ADOPTED BY WELLINGTON BOARD
(MESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.)
WELLINGTON, January 28,
A modification of the plans for the proposed new hospital was decided upon by the Wellington Hospital Board to-night.
The original scheme was for a fivestorey building costing £695,000 but the board has now decided to limit the building to four storeys, which will reduce the expenditure to £615,000. This will provide for 323 beds, for operating theatres, servicing departments, and the administration block. The total requirements for which the board now seeks the approval of the Health Department and the Local Government Loans Board and the support of the public are £ 80,000 for a new nurses' home containing 130 -beds, £ 31,000 for a new boiler house and £474,000 for a new general hospital.
