HOSPITAL FUNDS
MAN WITH A MISSION. COMMUNITY BASIS SCHEME. [ Per Press Association. ] AUCKLAND, July 29. Dr. George Fitzpatrick, superintendent of.the New South Wales community hospital, arrived from Sydney on a confidential mission involving a discussion with the Government of a joint plan for raising hospital revenue. He will submit his proposal to the ActingPrime Minister next week. He said that the scheme had a cooperative basis “apart altogether from gambling elements” in his State, which were depending almost entirely on lottery profits to finance the hospitals. The position was becoming increasingly difficult, and there was a prospective shortage this year of £400,000. The State Government was now persuaded that a community system was tho one real method of financing hospitals.
