Hospital plan studied
Parliamentary reporter The Cabinet will not consider the special review report on a new main block for Christchurch Hospital for several weeks yet. The chairman of the North Canterbury Hospital Board, Mr T. C. Grigg, and its chief executive, Mr R. I. Parker, met the Minister of Health, Mr Malcolm, for an hour yesterday. The two men said after the meeting that Mr Malcolm wanted Health Department experts to check matters of a technical nature in the review report before he
made any recommendation to the Cabinet. The Minister had given no commitment that the $9O million development would go ahead exactly as planned, Mr Grigg said. He had only superficially read the review report. The Board had taken three years with its own plans, and the review committee could therefore not be begrudged an extension of several weeks, Mr Grigg said. “But we came here to impress urgency on the Minister and he got the message,” he said.
