LYNDHURST PRIVATE HOSPITAL
CONCERN EXPRESSED ABOUT CLOSING (From Our Parliamentary Reporter) WEIXINGTON, August 16. “The mater lity services of Christchurch are working to capacity ndw, and the closing of the Lyndhurst Private Hospital would throw a tremendous responsibility on to the Health Department,” said Miss M. B. Howard (Opposition, Sydenham) in a question addressed to the Minister of Health (Mr J. R. Hanan) in the House of Representatives today. Miss Howard asked whether the Minister’s attention had been drawn to the announcement made last week that Lyndhurst Hospital would close down next March. SI e asked whether arrangements could be made through the Health Department to continue the use of the hospital. The hospital, she said, had 20 beds, and handled about 500 confinements a year.
