HOSPITAL SUBSIDY.
£1 FOR £1 WANTED. (From Our Own Reporter.) Hawera, July 9. Judging by the correspondence received by the Hawera Hospital Board to-day feeling is strong among Hospital Boards at the Government’s system of allocating hospital subsidies. A number of boards wrote expressing the opinion that the Government should give a flat rate of £ for £ to the boards’ funds, and that legislation should be introduced accordingly. It was pointed out that the subsidy received by the Hawera board last year was o‘n the lowest scale, namely, 12s 3d in the The secretary said he understood that by paying a flat rate of £ for £ the Government would be called uoon to contribute an extra £60,000 per annum to the hospitals, and the contributing local authorities would be relieved to that extent. On the motion of the chairman (Mr. F. Gillanders), a resolution was passed supporting the agitation for a flat rate subsidy of £ for £, and urging all other boards to give their assistance.
