SOUTHERN HOSPITALS
ACTIVITY IN BUILDING AUCKLAND CHAIRMAN'S TOUR "I found that the smaller hospitals are being managed very efficiently, and the- additions being made will provide up-to-date accommodation," said the Rev. W. C. Wood, chairman of the Auckland Hospital Board and vice-president of the Hospital Boards' Association, yesterday, in discussing his recent tour of the Dominion by motorcar. Mr. Wood has returned to Auckland after travelling 2500 miles in the North and South Islands, and visiting the main hospitals between Auckland and Dunedin.
"I was struck by the amount of building activity, particularly on the West Coast of the South Island," Mr. Wood said. The hospitals there were small compared with the Auckland institution, but he was impressed with the efficiency displayed and interested in the building programmes being developed. The Nelson Hospital appeared to Mr. Wood as a fine example of a mediumsized hospital. Extensive additions were being made at Greymouth, where a new nurses' home had been erected, and the same applied to Hokitika.
