AN ASTONISHING STATEMENT
OVER 20,000 OPERATIONS IN YEAR 1 Dominion Special. Auckland, November 20. Dr. Valintine (Director-General of Health) who was recently in Auckland, made the astounding statement that over twenty thousand operations had been performed in the Dominion during the past twelve month, or one to every eighty of the population. Mr. \V. Wallace, chairman of the Hospital Board, in commenting on the matter, said that, -comparatively speaking, some of the smaller hospitals had a larger percentage of operations than some'of the larger ones. The test of operations was whether they tended to improve the health amongst the people. Some institutions were quite exceptional for the number of- operations performed in them.
