SOME NOTES UPON THE PROMOTION -.■'■'• OF THE GRANGE HOSPITAL LTD. npHB promotion was suggested by the complaint emanating from the medical faculty •^- that there was not nearly enough accommodation available in Wellington to meet the requirements of surgical and medical cases, and the idea was taken up by the promoters in a spirit of philanthropy, so that an efficient service should be developed second to none in the Southern Hemisphere. "It ivas known that with one exception (and the Wellington Public Hospital) there was not any hospital accommodation that had not been made out of buildings originally built as private dwellings, and that had been afterwards.converted to meet as far as practicable the needs of a private hospital. In some cases the accommodation thus provided was more or less unsuitable, and much below the requirements of modern science. „ The essentials of a modern hospital site are—reasonable proximity to the city, freedom'from the noise of the city traffic, fresh uncontaminated air, and abundant sunshine. ' It was by no means easy to obtain all the advantages, and until Sir Harold Beauehamp sold his property to Grange Estate Ltd., the originator o£ the hospital idea, who had been searching for three years, found what he was looking for and induced Grange Estate Ltd., instead of cutting up the property, to offer it to the proposed Grange Hospital Ltd. on satisfactory terms. This fine block of land, containing nearly four acres, mostly level, and within seven minutes of the G.P.0., is eminently suited for the purpose, and there is no reason to think that, if sufficient support from the public should be accorded, Wellington might not haye the best hospital south of the Line. The promoters are informed that at the present moment there are more than a hundred cases waiting for accommodation at the Wellington Public Hospital, and that they cannot be admitted because there is no more room available. It is desired that the Grange Hospital shall be up to date in every particular that modern medical science can indicate, and that there shall be not only sufficient accommodation for present needs, but ample scope for additional accommodation as it may seem to be required. The promoters have in view that the whole adventure should be founded upon the principle enunciated by Mr. Henry Ford in the United States o£ America, viz., that it should pay its way while affording the best possible service to the public. Thus it would be expected that the fees charged to patients should be as moderate as might be consistent with the necessity for covering the cost of administration, rates, taxes, maintenance, depreciation, and a moderate interest upon the capital invested. , Beyond this it is not expected that the adventure should be regarded as a speculative investment framed to produce a large return. Surplus revenue (if any), beyond the above-mentioned requirements should rather be devoted to a reduction in the fees payable by patients. An important feature in the promotion is the acquisition of a small farm in some accessible locality that would provide, all the milk, vegetables, and poultry required for the hospital. Such supplies would be brought in by motor as required each morning, and the unused material returned by the same means to the farm for consumption by pigs and poultry. Another very important element in the promotion is that the whole administration will be methodically conducted as a business proposition by a Board of Directors. Thus the Matron's duties will be restricted to the management of the nursing staff and the attention required by patients, and her attention need never be dis--tracted by the necessity for clerical tasks which can more efficiently be undertaken by a Secretary. The Hospital will not be under the management of medical men, but there ■will be a small committee of medical men, who will advise the Board upon such technical matters as may from time to time come up for consideration. The promoters have been assured that such assistance .will bo forthcoming when required. Such advice as the promoters have already received indicates that the Hospital is most urgently required, and that it will be enthusiastically supported by the great majority of the medical faculty practising in AVellington. The above outlines the ideals of the promoters, and an appeal is made to all those who have money to invest to tako up the largest parcel of shares they can Unord. Investors must realise that the Grange Hospital, while self-supporting, is really i philanthropic institution with the ideal of the best possible service to suffering humanity, run on scientific lines, aided and directed by- business men.
