OBSTETRICAL WORK.
PLEA FOR A HOSPITAL. INACTION OF GOVERNMENT. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) NEW PLYMOUTH, Monday. A protest against the inaction of the Government In not providing an obstetrical hospital at Dunedin, which was promised, especially in view of the fact that the women of the Dominion had contributed £31,000 toward endowment of a Chair of Obstetrics, was made at a meeting of women representing many organisations at New Plymouth to-day.
An appeal for Government action was made by Dr. G. Home, president of th'e Js'ew Zealand division of the British Medical Association. The following motion was carried: “That this meeting of women, feeling that no effort should be spared to reduce the maternal mortality rate in New Zealand respectfully urges upon the Government the necessity for avoiding further delay in the erection of t'he promised obstetrical hospital."
