HOSPITAL RATES.
INEQUITABLE OPERATION. (Special to "Northern Advocate.") WELLINGTON, This Day. "I want to protest against 'the reduction which has taken place to backHocks medical associations," said Mr R. Masters (Stratford) when speaking of the hospital subsidy. He said that the. subsidy had been reduced from 24s to 20s, but he did not think members had. understood the effect of their votes when they cast them in the division which he had called for on this question last session. He hoped before the end of the present session to have the 24s restored.
Mr Masters said also that the presesent system of allocating the hospital rate was wrong and that it operated to the comparative detriment of people ■who were farthest from hospitals and ■used them least. He was going to fight for a flat rate of subsidy all over the Dominion.
