PREVENTIVE TREATMENT AT HOSPITALS EXTRA CAPITAL WORK NOT NECESSARY No extra capital work by the North Canterbury Hospital Board will be necessary to give effect to the amending legislation providing for preventive treatment at public hospitals. Miniature X-ray facilities are being provided at the tuberculosis dispensary in Armagh street, and other facilities are provided for in the board’s capital works programme. The board has advised the Hospital Boards’ Association of the position. When the association’s request was received by the Wellington Hospital Board it was decided that with the present facilities at the board’s institutions, no additional services could be undertaken. To meet the requirements of the legislation it would be necessary to build a complete new outpatients’ department, demolish the present X-ray and pathological departments, and build new accommodation for the services.
