Capacity Taxed.
HOSPITALS CROWDED. PRIVATE AND PUBLIC. It is not often that the public hospitals and nearly all the private hospitals in Auckland are so Imsy at this season of the year. Some chronic cases are being transferred from the hospital to the infirmary to allow of more beds for urgent cases. Accident cases account for a considerable number of patients, and there are many eases of concussion in the wards. These cases need quietness and rest moro than anything else, and it is difficult to keep visitors away from them. There is some congestion at the T.B. shelters at Epsom, and there is also a waiting list. It is found that many patients do better in the (board’s own shelters than at the sanatoria at Pukeora and Otaki. There are cases of T.B. which have to be taken into private hospitals. The T.B. shelters for returned men in the hospital grounds are in an ideal situation, and just now tho flower beds are a picture.
