AUCKLAND ST. HELEN’S HOSPITAL
HEAVY LOSSES REVEALED. By Tbleguaph.—PeEss Association Auckland, January 20. A loss of £O4OO has been incurred by the Health Department during the past two years in connection with the administration of the St. Helens Hospital. This fact is contained in the income and expenditure accounts forwarded by the Department to the Auckland Hospital Board. The chairman (Mr. W. Wallace) said that any suggestion that the institution should be taken over by the Hospital Board was out of the question. Wliile there was the prospect of being saddled with a dead loss of £6409 it would be taking; over a white elephant. Under the Department’s restrictions it would be next to impossible to make the hospital pav. If the board were permitted to run the institution on the same, lines as it ran the Public Hospital (to make those pay who could) it might be a different matter.
