The necessity for amending legisla. tion empowering hospital boards to attach any amount awarded by the Supreme Court in compensation cases, especially to meet expenses incurred in the institution, was stressed at a meeting of the Wellington Hospital Board. Mr A. J. M’Curdy, chairman of the Fees Committee, said that some people after being allowed hospital expenses never thought for one moment that it was their duty to pay their hospital account. “That, I think, the meanest thing a person can do,” said Mr C. M. Luke. “We are trying to get legislation introduced that will meet cases of that kind.”
