Hospital spending
Sir,—A report in “The Press” (May 17), says the proposed renovation of Stewart Villa at Sunnyside may take several years to spread the cost... the North Canterbury Hospital Board sent back renovation plans because it considered the cost estimate of $500,000 too high. The Princess Margaret Hospital will soon take delivery of $1.2 million worth of cardiac catheterisation equipment but may have no new laboratory in which to use it. The Hospital Board committee chairman said he believed delay was a ploy of the Government departments pressured from all directions for money. The new Government loan scheme has just attracted more than $650 million! How Gilbert and Sullivan would have made capital of the above. — Yours, etc., S. WADE. May 20, 1983.
