Hospital cases were not taken into the sanatorium, added the Minister. The only cases admitted were those reported on by the medical, authorities as being likely to benefit. .^v Referring to the same matter, the FniM Minister (Sir Joseph Ward) said the boyernment had no intention of closing thesanatorium. It had never been expected that the sanatorium should be a moneymaking institution, but it was put up to help those unfortunates suffering j from, tuberculosis. It had done a great deal good work, which work would be continued. V:
