HOSPITAL RATES
DUNEDIN, March 23
A complaint that Social Security had not relieved ratepayers from increases in hospital rates was made at a meeting of the Otago Hospital Board by the Chairman (Mr. J. W. Dove) in commenting on an increase of nearly £BOOO in the maintenance levy for 1944-45. In one way, he said, the Board was very much better off as a result of the introduction of Social Security because there was now little need for outdoor relief, but there had been a much greater demand for hospital treatment. Dr. W. Newlands said that the. Government had not played the game in the distribution of Social Security in forcing Hospital Boards to bear so much of the costs of hospital treatment. It would not even allow the Board to receive from other Boards higher fees for specialised treatment for patients from outside districts who could not obtain treatment from their own hospitals.
