V.D. CLINIC FOR HAMILTON
Plans for additional accommodation at the Waikato Hospital to house a modern venereal diseases clinic, another X-ray room, and a room in which to hold nursing student classes Were submitted to the Waikato Hospital Board last week. The cost was estimated at £20,000. The' board decided to erect a temporary building at a cost of £IOOO, to be used as a venereal diseases clinic until the larger scheme could be adopted, and to ask the Government to pay 75 per cent of the cost. The chairman, Mr. F. Findlay, said a conference had been held in Hamilton to consider ways and means of checking social diseases by requiring those who were suspected of being affected to undergo remedial treatment. He added that 90 pe;r cent of the cases he met with in camp in England in 1918 were contracted while the soldiers were intoxicated.
