HOSPITAL PAYMENT
NO INCREASE ON 6/- A DAY. MR. FRASER’S STATEMENT. “The Government has absolutely no intention of increasing payments to hospitals under the Social Security Act above 6s a day for each patient,” said the Minister of Health, the Hon. P. Fraser in an interview last night when commenting on a statement by Dr. J. P. Hastings, a member of the Auckland Hospital Board. Dr. Hastings had said he had reason to believe that the Government proposed to increase the daily payment for hospital benefits to Bs. “The payment will remain at 65,” said Mr. Fraser. “In the opinion of the Government that is quite adequate.”
