HOSPITAL CONTROL
MOBE SUPERVISION BY THE
GOVERNMENT. (BI; TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.)
AUCKLAND, This Day. Speaking of the movement in various parts of the Dominion fpr the. nationalisation of the hospitals system, the Hon. G. W. Russell said he was satisfied that the Government had not sufficient control of the expenditure in connection with hospitals. It pays practically one-half the entire cost, and has no say in the expenditure, with one exception, namely, that- the> approval of the Minister is required before any expenditure above a small amount in the way of buildings can be incurred. Though he was not prepared to bring down any proposals in the present session, the hospital boards may make up their minds for a review by the Government of their estimates of expenditure before that expenditure is adopted; also for much greater control than now exists in connection with the appointment of the-lea«Eng officers in institutions.
