An additional storey containing 34 bedrooms has been added to the nurses’ home at the Waikato Hospital. The work has been carried out in brick and reinforced concrete, the contract price being £5453. The addition was rendered necessary by the proposal of the Hospital Board to allow all nurses one day off a week. To do this more accommodation had to be found for the increased staff. Owing to the present need for strict economy, however, the board-has been unable to employ the additional nurses, and as a result only a section of the new storey will be used at present.
