HOSPITAL RATE
STABILISING MEASURE GOVERNMENT’S DECISION MAXIMUM OF 0.5 d IN THE £1 The Government’s decision to stabilise the hospital rate was announced by Mr Nash in his Budget speech. “ It has been decided,” he said, “ that from the beginning of next financial year the hospital levy in any district of New Zealand shall not exceed 0.5 d per pound of rateable capital value." Mr Nash added that, while the amount levied on local authorities would be determined on this basis, each local authority would allocate the sum required among its ratepayers, according to the system of rating in vogue in its area. It was also the view of the Government that hospital districts should be enlarged in order to promote a more efficient system of health administration and that a greater measure of control of hospital board expenditure should be exercised.
