MAORI PATIENTS
HOSPITAL FEES NOT PAID GISBORNE BOARD CONCERNED [BY TELEGRAPH —OWN CORRESPONDENT] GISEORNE. Saturday A report presented to the Cook Hospital Board showed that Maori patients last year were charged £]2f>6, but only £96 was collected. The information was supplied as a result of a discussion at the recent Hospital Boards' Conference, when it was contended that boards with large Maori populations were unfairly penalised, and it was urged that some special assistance should be given. In previous years, it was stated, the collections at the Cook Hospital had never exceeded 12 per cent of the total charged.
It was decided to forward the information to the Director-General of Health.
