‘BRICKS WITHOUT STRAW’
(P.A.) WELLINGTON, This Day. In reply to a letter from the Hospital Boards’ Association inquiring what capital works boards would be required to undertake to give effect to fresh legislation in respect to preventive treatment, the Wellington Hospital Board has informed the association that with the present difficulties available at the boards’ institutions no additional services can be undertaken. To meet the requirements of the legislation, it would be necessary for the board to provide a complete new out-patient department, demolish the present X-ray department and pathological department and rebuild new and enlarged accommodation for these departments. “We are in the same position as'the Israelites,” said the chairman of the board, Mr H. F. Toogood. “We are being asked to make bricks without straw.”
