HOSPITAL COMFORTS FROM R.S.A.
REDUCTION TO BE MADE In future the supply of comforts to hospital patients by the Christchurch Returned Services’ Association will be reduced, because of the heavy drain on funds available for this purpose. Visits to the public hospital will be continued on the existing basis, but visits to the mental hospital at Sunnyside and the sanatorium at Cashmere will be reduced from once fortnightlv to once a month, and the fruit will be eliminated from the gifts. The president (Mr P. V. H. Maxwell) said at a meeting of the executive last evening that last year hospital comforts had cost £ 1500. Each visit fo a patient had cost 2s 9jd. Only about £l5OO remained in the account for this purpose. It was something the association could not continue to carry, said Mr Maxwell.
