HOSPITALS AND CHARITABLE INSTITUTIONS OF THE COLONY. (REPORT ON THE), BY THE INSPECTOR OF HOSPITALS.
Presented to both Houses of the General Assembly by Command of His Excellency.
The Inspector of Hospitals and Charitable Institutions to the Hon. the Minister of Education. Sir,— 1 have the honour to lay before you the following report on the hospitals and charitable institutions of the colony for the year ending the 31st March, 1894: — The total expenditure for the year was—Hospitals, £87,060 19s. 7d.; charitable aid, £76,616 14s. 9d. : total, £163,677 14s. 4d. The expenditure for the previous year was—Hospitals, £77,463 3s. 3d.; charitable aid, £76,492 13s. 5d.: total, £153,955 16s. Bd. Increase for the year ending 31st March, 1894—Hospitals, £9,597 16s. 4d. ; charitable aid, £124 Is. 4d : total increase, £9,721175. Bd. The cause of this increase was the erection of new buildings and additions in various places, viz. : — £ s. d. New buildings and additions, this year ... ... ... 11,802 3 5 last year ... ... ... 4,608 15 6 Increase this year over last year in buildings ... £7,193 7 11 It will be observed that there is an increase this year in the total expenditure for hospitals and charitable aid of £9,721 17s. Bd. as compared with last year. The cost of new hospital buildings was very heavy this year, the total being £11,802 3s. 5d., as against £4,608 15s. 6d. for the previous year; i.e., an increase of £7,193 7s. lid. The total increase in hospital expenditure, excluding new buildings, is £2,404 Bs. sd. This is accounted for by the large number of patients treated during the year, there being 1,121 more than the previous year, and an increase in the total collective days' stay of 14,840. There is a decrease in the average daily cost of Jd. per patient, and a decrease of 2-58 per cent, in the cost of administration in the total expenditure. The increase in charitable aid is £124 Is. 4d.; but the expenditure on new buildings, Ac., was £2,768 6s. 7d. less than the previous year; so that in reality there is an increase of £2,892 7s. lid. Owing to the low price of our products, and the unusually bad harvest, the coming winter threatens to be a very hard one, and there is reason to fear a considerable increase in our charitableaid expenditure. In Wellington, so early as the end of April, a formidable influx of unemployed began to cause great anxiety to the trustees of the Benevolent Society, and widespread sympathy was felt for the undoubted hardships that some deserving persons were believed to be enduring. The way in which this emergency was met in Wellington demonstrates what I have always said— namely, that the question of outdoor relief can never be satisfactorily dealt with till it is tackled directly by the people themselves. Three private gentlemen in a few days raised a sum of £600, which, together with a sum of £500 contributed by the City Council, was handed over unconditionally to the Benevolent Society. These gentlemen were associated with some of the Trustees as a sub-committee to look after the spending of the money. This is being done in such a vigorous and intelligent fashion that I believe there will be no more trouble with the unemployed this winter. Every man who wants work will get it. All will get enough to live on, but no loafing will be tolerated ; and it is provided that no man who is able to work and refuses will be permitted to get charitable aid either for himself or his family. This is a new departure of the most hopeful augury that a time is coming very soon when no money will be raised by the central government to be expended in outdoor relief by local bodies, and when all outdoor relief is paid for out of direct local taxation. It is, in my opinion, the only plan by which this young country can escape disaster, due to its investing a large part of the consolidated revenue in the permanent degradation of the people. The only other difficulties revealed by the working of the Act, besides those arising out of the incurable evils surrounding the existing system of State-subsidised outdoor relief are, first, the I—H. 22.

necessity of defining "maintenance of institutions," so as to make it include the erection of new buildings where such are required to keep the institution in a condition sufficient for the public demand for necessary accommodation ; and second, the difficulties surrounding the questions of settlement. A Bill has been prepared to deal with these matters, which will, I believe, remove all real difficulties in the working of the Act that can be profitably faced until such time as the country and the Parliament have made up their minds to deal with the whole question of local government and direct taxation in a systematic and comprehensive way.

On examining the records of this institution I was surprised to find that out of 103 cases admitted during the year no less than thirty-five were entered as quinsy. Struck with this extraordinary circumstance, I told Dr. Nichols that he had either mistaken diphtheria for quinsy or had purposely tried to mislead. Either alternative ought not to be possible in a public hospital. The hospital itself is well arranged and well managed. A new fever-ward, containing three beds, has been built, and a good bath-room and closet have been added at the west end of the male ward. The whole has been newly painted by Mr. Dickenson in his leisure time. It would be a great advantage if the swamp behind were drained and made into a vegetable-garden.

Auckland Hospital, 31st December, 1893. The chief defect in this building is the fact that the kitchen and its adjuncts are near the centre on the ground-floor, and is therefore both inconvenient and unpleasant in many ways. A similar state of things was strongly condemned by the Eoyal Commission which inquired into the condition of the Dunedin Hospital some years ago. The Auckland trustees, not unnaturally, have asked the Government to grant them £2,000 to erect a new kitchen, and utilise the groundfloor now occupied by the kitchen and servants' quarters, dispensary, &c, for the purpose of providing more accommodation for patients, which is really needed. An effort ought to be made locally to raise half the money. ' The institution is thoroughly well managed in all its departments.

At the time of my visit I found that the matron and her assistants had just before had a run of very heavy cases, and that this accounted for a little falling-off in the neatness and order which I had always previously observed as marking this institution. The number of major operations successfully performed by Dr. Cleghorn cannot, I think, be paralleled in any other of our smaller hospitals. The management is very satisfactory. A new ward has been built, and various other improvements have been effected.

home is now being removed by the building of what will be the most commodious home in the colony. It will be seen by reference to the appended tables that a very decided reduction has taken place in the average daily cost per head, as well as in the average time for which individual cases remain in the hospital. A very striking feature of the management is that the outdoor patients are so numerous. The Akaroa Hospital is simply a branch of the Christchurch Hospital.

I was sorry to hear that she had given notice of resignation, for private reasons. lam glad to see that the daily cost per head has fallen from 14s. 2|d. last year to 10s. IOJd. this year. The Chairman and committee, and, indeed, the whole district, take a very great interest in their hospital, and, as on all the goldfields, the patients are very generously treated.

The administration of this hospital continues to preserve the high character it has maintained for many years. The nursing staff, since Miss Fraser has taken charge, has been contented, loyal, and efficient. The medical school, in its relation to the hospital on the one hand and the University on the other, has during last year had some difficulties, now happily .removed. I have always believed that with tact and mutual consideration the difficulties which have arisen in the past might have been avoided, and a serious injury, both to the reputation.of the hospital and the medical school, prevented. It is extremely difficult under the system of local government we possess to make any legal provision as to the composition of the governing body such as shall reconcile the somewhat divergent interests of the hospital trustees and the University. Even a dim idea of the importance of the medical school to Dunedin and the colony ought of itself to suffice for securing unanimity of action on the part of the associated bodies. The medical department of the hospital5 is conducted with vigour and efficiency. A new laundry is urgently needed, and is now under consideration.

I have some doubts as to the wisdom of this arrangement if it is intended to be permanent, with a proportion of eighteen patients who are fit inmates for an old men's home out of a total of forty-three. Miss Boxby, one of the best and mpst experienced charge nurses in the Dunedin Hospital, has been appointed to the position of matron. The individual average days' stay is 100-43; the next highest being Westport, with an average stay of 94; and the next Eoss, with 88'31; then Picton—a veritable old man's refuge—B4-93; and Nelson, 75-88.

Hokitika Hospital, 24th October, 1893. This hospital, since its reorganization, showed for a. time that a strenuous effort was being made to make it less of a refuge and more of a hospital. I am afraid, however, that the local conditions are again making themselves felt, for I find that, whereas last year the average stay was 43-69, it has risen this year to 50'14. There is a diminution of the daily average cost per head, notwithstanding that the actual expenditure was for thirteen months. lam glad to see that the percentage of cost of administration is moderate. A new bath has been provided, of very primitive design and inferior quality. The remaining baths are very old and battered. I found everything clean and orderly. The doctor is very attentive to his patients,

The ventilation is much better, except in the female ward, and every care is taken to make the best of this antiquated and ill-arranged hospital. The Resident Surgeon is competent and attentive. The nursing has been greatly improved. There is some falling-off in the number of patients treated, and the average daily cost per head has fallen from ss. 4Jd. to 4s. 4-J-d.

There is nothing new to report about this institution. It still possesses and deserves the confidence of the public. The new vigour which was introduced at the advent of Dr. Myles is still maintained. At the time of my visit I found there was considerable public feeling aroused over an alleged case of nursing neglect. I took great pains to get at the facts, and came to the conclusion that the whole matter simply amounted to this : that in small hospitals it is not possible to secure such unremitting attention night and day as is afforded in larger and more fully-equipped hospitals. The cost per head has risen from ss. 3d. to 6s. 7Jd.

I wrote to the Chairman calling the attention of the Board to certain matters which require rectification, and I have no doubt that by the time of my next visit they will have been put right.

The doctor is getting old, and the trustees are divided. I suggested two years ago what appeared to me to be inevitable, and I do not think any real peace is possible until some change is made. Meanwhile the institution cannot thrive. Perhaps a temporary solution might be found in the plan of having an, honorary staff, with Dr. Menzies in the position of House Surgeon. I think bis long service and high character would justify exceptional treatment as regards salary.

Dr. O'Carroll's orderly is getting too old for his work. The fire-hose was in a bad condition, and ought to be replaced. I think the system of drainage faulty and dangerous to the whole neighbourhood bordering the gullies into which it is discharged ; but how to remedy it until the town as a whole is drained I do not see.

I have paid several visits to this hospital during the year, and did all I could, in consultation with the trustees to help in its successful inauguration. It has had seventy-three patients under treatment since its opening, which shows that there exists a real demand for such an institution in the district. Its medical care has been intrusted to Drs. Mclntyre and Porter, who take the admissions week about. Miss Dougherty, a well trained and capable nurse of great experience, has been appointed matron, with trained assistants. As a hospital, the institution is well administered in every way ; but as a building, some of the materials were unseasoned, and some of the workmanship very inferior.

For a hospital of this size, the salary of the doctor —£265 and a house—may be considered large, but the position held by Dr. Douglas in this community is so unique, and rests on so long a record of splendid service, that nothing need be said so long as the public is content. The institution I found in a thoroughly satisfactory condition.

I did my best to prevent this spending of public money to provide for a future that is still remote, but failed. I had an interview with the Chairman, at which I discussed with him the internal economy of the institution, and made certain suggestions which will, I hope, have borne fruit by the time of my next visit.

Thames Hospital. Nothing could be more satisfactory than the way in which this old and badly-designed building is utilised by Dr. Williams and his staff. I explained to the secretary and trustees, some of whom represented to me the need for certain new wards, that many other parts of the colony were much worse off in respect of accommodation, and that, in my opinion, it would be unjustifiable to pull down the old wards. The Thames district can quite well wait for better times before demanding new buildings.

I have satisfied myself by careful examination of its working that this hospital continues to deserve the high degree of confidence which the public repose in its management. One point I desire to make a suggestion about—namely, that there ought to be established a system by which the nurses should be examined and certificated, as well as taught. If the staff do not see their way to do this they might arrange with the Christchurch Hospital.

On the day of my visit this institution contained one female and ten male patients. The nurses number six, a head nurse and five subordinates, all of whom are most carefully trained by means of lectures and demonstrations. The number of nurses appears to be excessive, but is oxplained by the fact that they work only eight hours a day, and the result is seen in the comparatively large cost of 7s. 9Jd. per patient per day. It looks as if the example of this hospital will soon 'be 'followed elsewhere, with, of course, a considerable increase of the rates. The hospital is admirably managed in every respect. The Medical Officer gets £400 and a house, without private practice. This arrangement works admirably so far as the hospital is concerned, but it is rather expensive, and has a tendency, which must be carefully guarded against, to make the hospital too attractive, and admission easy, for persons who ought to be treated outside.

I hope the trustees will keep to their resolution of building with bricks, and will see that the bricks are of good quality; otherwise, wood is better. I have examined the new plans, and had several interviews with Mr. Atkins, the architect, who has taken great pains to make it a model hospital.

A new wing, containing a large new ward and accommodation for the increased nursing staff, has been added this year, so that Wellington is amply provided with hospital accommodation for years to come, especially when the new drainage scheme shall have banished typhoid. The management of the hospital and the attention and. skill of the medical staff, and especially of Dr. Ewart, has made this institution so popular that a new phase of the hospital system is showing itself. What with the closer organization of the friendly societies, and the enormously-increased extent of the outdoor cases (2,720 individual cases and 10,850 attendances last year), it looks as if collectivism were first to make itself really triumphant in respect to the medical profession. Certainly, individualism is in a bad way among the doctors.

Westport Hospital, 10th June, 1894. I visited this hospital twice since my last report. On both occasions I found everything working well. Owing to a charge of malpraxis against Dr. Wright, and an unfavourable verdict, with which the Judge disagreed, I regret to find that Dr. Wright is leaving in consequence. He has been a conscientious and devoted officer.

The time has come when the Government should adopt some comprehensive scheme for the development of the whole thermal region of New Zealand, of which the existing sanatorium can only be regarded as a nucleus. I hope to find the Lands Department bring forward such a plan, with the necessary vote to carry it out. I visited the sanatorium twice during the year, and lam satisfied that it is in a very satisfactory condition.
CHAEITABLE INSTITUTIONS. I have visited all the charitable institutions in the colony, and found that everywhere, except at New Plymouth and Napier, suitable buildings were provided. The Napier Board are taking steps to secure a good site, with a considerable area of good land, within five miles of the town, ■with a view to erect a home for aged people. In Gisborne I found an untidy cottage, without suitable conveniences, rented at £40, where six men are boarded, at a cost of 10s. per week. The rooms and beds were dirty, and the whole place very squalid. The cost per head per week throughout the colony varies from ss. 5Jd. to 10s., according to local circumstances and the numbers resident. I have refrained as much as possible from urging the establishment of new institutions, in the hope of a comprehensive Act dealing with large districts, where the governing bodies should have larger powers. I have in former reports urged that the whole of the cost of what I may call the State children should be taken over from the local bodies, and boarded out under the supervision of the Education Department. Meanwhile, lam glad to find that nearly all the children are being boarded out, mostly in the country, at a cost varying from ss. to Bs. a week. D. MacGregob, M.A., M.8., Inspector of Asylums and Hospitals.
