PROPOSAL FOR SYDNEY!
UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
ARGUMENTS IN FAVOUR
(Received April 11, 11 a.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. At the annual meeting of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons Pro* fessor R. Gordon Bell suggested th«f establishment of a University Hospital under the- direction of the Professors of Medicine and Surgery and a system of compulsory universal sickness iiisurance. "The natural logical outcome of the Bosch clinical Professorships," he said, "is the establishment of a university hospital of about two hundred beds on the lines of the best German or Swiss university hospital clinics. The Professor of Surgery; would have absolute control of a hundred beds with an assistant staff of varying grades of seniority. I would like to see this experiment made ia Sydney, controlled by the University; and directed-by its clinical Professors. "Tho students would benefit and tho public -in due course from better antl better trained doctors. It would have to be financed chiefly by the Univer* sity and partly by^ho State." Professor Bell was delivering his second George Sime Oration. Ho criticised the free use of public hospitals for surgicaf treatment by persons abl« to pay for it.
