By Telegraph—Press Association.
CHRISTCHURCH, June 28.
For mothers and babies receiving treatment in the Plunket Society’s Karitane hospitals it is possible that the society will receive a hospital benefit of 6/- a patient a day under the Social Security Scheme. The Assistant Director-General of Health, Dr. R. A. Shore, said today that the society’s position under the scheme was being considered at the moment, and it was expected that a decision would be reached soon. The society’s council, with headquarters in Dunedin, has written. to the department, asking what arrangement, if any, .is likely to be made. Already a grant is received annually from the Government, but there is a prospect that, under the Social Security scheme there will be added to this a separate payment on account of each patient.
