RECIPROCAL SCHEME
OUT-PATIENT FEES WAIVED A letter from the Auckland, Palmerston North, Taranaki and Waipawa Hospital Boards, asking for agreement by the board to a reciprocal scheme under which no claim for fees should be made where any out-patient social security benefit operated, was received at the monthly meeting of the Waikato Hospital Board today. The board decided to make no claim where there was reciprocation, and in the case of those boards which were unwilling to reciprocate to charge one-third of the usual fees.
Intimation that the Government had agreed to abolish the time limit of 28 days during which the War Expenses Account bears the 5s per day additional cost to the social security fund was contained in a letter from the Hospital Boards’ Association. The 5s per day was formerly payable in respect of soldiers of the present war who are maintained in the various public hospitals throughout the Dominion.
