TO PAY FOR ACCIDENTS.
The Hospital Boards’ Association is crcenvouring to secure legislation to give hospital boards a right of lion on any insurance money payable, in respect of accidents where hospital charges have been incurred. This is ur.doubiedly a just claim. The hospitals are bearing heavy expense in maintaining extra accommodation for uccidenv cases. Employers and motorusers arc required to insure against accident. It is but right that, there should, therefore, be some safeguard for {.aywent of hospital and mcdicil fees cut of the insurance money. No doub:. n. most cases patients recognise thir.r obligations and pay the fees; but there arc others who do not. The hospital t !tatwent, is a fair charge on insurance payments, and it is not reasonable that the cost of accidents shouLt bo debited against the community. as it is when there is evasion of tin. i ayment.—Evening Post.
