Abfiut £4OOO yearly has to be “written Off” by the Waikato Hospital Board on’ its patients’ fees 'accounts. To-day the secretary asked authority to write off £16,401 on account of the Waikato Hospital and £62 on behalf of the Kawhia Hospital, the amounts representing an accumulation of unpaid fees for several year .
Members expressed • surprise at the large sum outstanding, ■ and asked, if it would not be wise to appoint a collector to try and gather in some of the money. The secretary said that every patient was given an account, but in necessitous cases payment had not been enforced, and wou'-d appear under the head of “ relief.” The board authorised the “writing off” of the amounts in question.
