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 Inspectoe of Hospitals and Chaeitable Institutions to the Hon. the Ministee of Education. Sic,— I 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, 1895 : —■ The total expenditure on hospitals for last year was £91,168 14s. lid., against £87,060 19s. 7d. for previous year —an increase of £4,107 15s. 4d. Deducting the cost of new buildings and additions, the expenditure was £79,031 4s. 6d., as compared with a similar expenditure for the previous year of £75,258 16s. 2d.—an increase of £3,772 Bs. 4d. There was an increase of 579 in the number of patients treated last year, with a decrease of ljd. per head in the average daily cost.
Patients' Payments.
The average amount per head received for maintenance of patients last year was : Auckland, £2 2s. 7d.; Christchurch, ss. 10d.; Dunedin, 18s. 3d.; Wellington, 13s. lid. The total expenditure last year for charitable aid was £86,555 Bs. 6d., as against £76,616 14s. 9d. for the previous year —an increase of £9,938 13s. 9d. Of this increase £5,300 may be put down on account of the special efforts made for the relief of the unemployed in Wellington, Christchurch, and Dunedin. Owing to the continued depression, I expect a very great increase under this head for the current year. Indeed, it has become a matter of much anxiety how we can wean the local bodies from this way of increasing the charitable-aid vote. The total expenditure on hospitals and charitable aid was £177,724 3s. 5d., as compared with £163,677 14s. 4d. for the previous year, being an increase of £14,046 9s. Id. Peesent Aspect of the Peoblem op Poveety in New Zealand. Considered historically, this problem, so far as New Zealand is concerned, I have frequently referred to. In my report for 1892 I explained its evolution from provincial times, in order to make clear how inextricably its solution is bound up with the consolidation of local government. I have long held the opinion that to reform our hospital and charitable-aid system it is first necessary to reform our whole system of local government. " Prom time to time after the abolition of the provinces new local bodies, armed with rating and borrowing powers, were created as necessity arose, so that in 1885, when Parliament found itself obliged to face the question of charitable institutions and hospitals, two great dangers had to be guarded against—too many local bodies and the killing of voluntary charity. The excessive multiplication of local bodies was fast becoming an intolerable evil; and yet it was a vital necessity that our charitable institutions and hospitals should be locally administered. The law passed in that year, with some amendments introduced in 1886, has been in operation ever since; and all the experience which has been gained in the working of it has served to cast a strong light on the evils and the dangers which surround this problem. The Act attempted first of all to give effect to the prime necessity for local power based on local taxation. This has been successfully achieved. . . . While, however, this great advance has been I—H. 22.

made, the excessive multiplication of local bodies has culminated in a reductio ad absurdvm of the whole system, and it has become plain even to the dullest observer that contradictory tendencies cannot be successfully harnessed together even by a Parliament. In the creation of existing Charitable Aid Boards the aim was to band together large and important districts having a community of interests and easy means of communication; but it was found necessary to make provision for the incorporation of separate institutions. The demand for this could not be resisted, and the present position is the result. . . . The New Zealand Act of 1885 has successfully localised administration and taxation, in so far that it has established a uniform system of distributing subsidies, but it has also fixed in the popular mind, and especially in the minds of the least self-reliant of our people, the belief that they have a right to a living whether they work or not." The following quotation from Bosanquet, one of the ablest and soundest authorities on this question, points clearly to the dangers that we are drifting on :"I believe in the . . . right and duty of civilised society to exercise initiative, through the State, with a view to the fullest development of the life of its members; but I am also absolutely convinced that the application of this initiative to guarantee without protest the existence of all individuals brought into being, instead of leaving the responsibility to the uttermost possible extent on the parents and the individuals themselves, is an abuse fatal to character and ultimately destructive of social life. The abolition of the struggle for existence, in the sense in which alone that applies to human societies, means, so far as I can see, the divorce of existence from human qualities; and to favour the existence of human beings without human qualities is the ultimate inferno to which any society can descend." In my judgment these are wise and weighty words, and I commend them to the earnest consideration of all who are interested (and who is not ?) in the improvement of our charitable system. Having its roots mainly in the undesirable immigrants who were sent here during the ascend- /! ant years of our great public-works policy, we have here and now among us a growing mass of / persons who are not helpable in any effective way, and our method of dealing with them is simply / destructive of the commonwealth. The great engine for the manufacture of this parasitic class is our system of outdoor relief, which I have dwelt on in many successive reports. We have never in New Zealand admitted the overwhelming force of the cardinal truth so slowly and irresistibly driven home by experience in the reports of the English Poor-law Commissioners —namely, this : " The first and most essential of all conditions—a principle which we find universally admitted even by those whose practice is at variance with it—is that the situation of the person relieved shall not on the whole be made really or apparently so eligible as the situation of the independent labourer of the lowest class." To this end the first and most difficult step is to convince the House that nothing can be done so long as the General Government subsidises local contributions for outdoor relief. We must draw clear and distinct the line between the duty of the State under systematic tests to relieve actual destitution, and the duty of the districts and neighbours to organize themselves, so as to furnish out of voluntary gifts, supplemented, if they see fit, by local rates, whatsoever their charitable sentiments impel them to provide. In the Bill now before the House this is done. The State undertakes to provide homes for all who are destitute and impotent, from old age, chronic illness, or calamity, on the one hand, while on the other, as the indispensable complement and corollary, it proposes penitentiaries, where the chronic unemployed, the drunkard, and the able-bodied unorganizable residuum generally shall be made to work, committed for that purpose by a Stipendiary Magistrate for not less than twelve months. This double-barrelled plan will reduce the cost of outdoor relief by at least a half, by removing the class of incorrigibles who at present absorb by far the largest part of our expenditure; while it will, jpa/ri passu, enable the benevolent organizations to deal more generously and discriminatingly with the deserving poor. In order to induce the local bodies to agree to this, it is provided that all the children maintained by the Charitable Aid Boards shall be taken over entirely by the Education Department. In doing this, of course, the utmost vigilance and determination will be required on the part of the administrators to guard against the consequences of bastardy made easy on the one hand, and the thoughtless breaking-up of families by thrusting their members off the local rates on to the Government. Owing to recent political and social developments it was felt that the time had come when the numerous and delicate questions affecting women which have to be dealt with in connection with our system of charitable aid, and our hospitals and asylums, ought to be handled in the first instance by a woman. Mrs. Neill, who has been appointed Assistant Inspector, combines in a very high degree the ability, knowledge, and sympathy required for this position.

I found this hospital in good order. It contained two patients. Dr. Thomson, the new medical officer, I have known from boyhood, and I am sure that both in point of character and professional knowledge he is thoroughly reliable. The accommodation is ample for the needs of the district, and the" building is suitable. I observe there is an increase of Is. 6-Jd. in the daily average cost.

This year I can only repeat what I have so often said, that so far as comfort and perfect cleanliness go this is a well-conducted institution. Dr. Trevor is very attentive to his duties. The fever hospital is falling into disrepair outside. The sanitary conditions are well looked after.

This has been a year of trouble in this hospital. At the date of my last visit I was impressed with the conviction that the relations between the Secretary to the Charitable Aid Board, the Hospital Steward, and the Relieving Officer were far from harmonious, and had something to do with the friction that has prevailed in the working of the Charitable Aid Board and the hospital. Except for these underlying elements of discord I found the hospital working well. I can only hope that the new departure taken by the Board will have good results. To this end I would suggest that great care should be taken to define strictly the functious of Mr. Garland and Mr. Schofield, and especially that the Board should not countenance any interference with the working of the hospital, except through the proper channels.

I am always delighted with the working of this hospital, and the enthusiasm shown by Dr. Cleghorn.in his work. The matron and nurses do their work well, and lam glad to notice that the matters I complained of last year have been remedied. The structural defects of the building cannot be remedied ; but every effort has been made, by means of a covered way and other additions, to make the best of things. I have always objected to having one of the wards converted into an old men's home, for it greatly adds to the real cost of maintenance, though the larger numbers help to reduce the cost per head.

I found the patients very comfortable, and full of the praises of the doctor, and the attendant and his wife. There has been a decrease of IOJd. in the average daily cost.

Dunedin Hospital. Great improvements have been effected since my last visit, in utilising the old No. 2 Ward. It has been divided into a fine large waiting-room at the one end, and a roomy, well-fitted dispensary at the other. The old operating-room is now a consulting-room, and off it has been provided a dark-room for ophthalmoscopic examinations. Upstairs, the tv/o back wards have been thrown into one by means of a connecting archway, thus greatly improving the appearance, lightsomeness, and ventilation of the whole. The hospital contains 120 beds, has two resident Medical Officers, both recent graduates of the New Zealand University. There are twenty-six nurses under the matron. The night superintendent is an experienced nurse, who has been eight years in the service. The existence of the Medical School at Dunedin, involving as it does the constant presence of medical students in the wards, requires, in my opinion, the greatest vigilance and energy on the part of the matron to prevent the possibility of any irregularities arising. To this end I would suggest that her hands should be strengthened in every possible way, and her authority upheld. I am bound to say that up to the present I have not heard even a hint of such things: lam anxious simply to avoid even the appearance of what experience teaches one to obviate rather than wait for its occurrence. The management of the steward, Mr. Burns, continues to deserve my strong commendation. The hospital as a whole deserves the public confidence; and the Medical School is very vigorous and successful.

Hawera Hospital, 28th January, 1895. The first thing that struck me on approaching this newly-completed hospital were the three elaborate and costly gateways. The hospital itself is built of wood, and is, as regards the arrangement of wards, &c, modelled on the New Plymouth Hospital. It is commodious, but less spacious than its prototype, and therefore more easily kept clean. The matron I have long known as a capable nurse. She is assisted by two nurses and a wardsman. There were four patients. The Medical Officer is Dr. Buckby. The sanitary arrangements are satisfactory for the present.

The other large male ward has sixteen beds and nine patients, of which only four are hospital patients proper. The female ward contains twelve beds with six patients, three being chronics. It will be apparent from this that an old men's home is badly wanted for the West Coast, for Greymouth is worse than Hokitika in its inevitable accumulation of chronics. The first money that can be spared ought to be devoted to the providing of suitable closets, bath, and sink. The nursing staff consists of the matron and three nurses, one just appointed. Everything is well attended to. Dr. Kendall and his staff are very attentive.

For several years it has been acknowledged that to put this hospital abreast of the times required a large expenditure of money, which it was found impossible to provide in present circumstances. The trustees have got impatient, and have determined to have the next best plan, provided they get it soon. Since my visit a contract has been let for an extension to the rear of the male side, where the sun gets little access and the exposure is southerly. The institution is managed so well as to give the best results that its defective accommodation and structural defects allow.

Kumara Hospital, 2nd November, 1894. The total accommodation is for twelve beds, of which eight were occupied on the day of my visit. Since Dr. Myles took charge this hospital has steadily prospered. A new kitchen-range has replaced the old colonial oven, and a sink has been provided, with hot water laid on. The women's ward has been made very nice and comfortable ; new beds have been purchased. The drains at the kitchen door and at the wash-house require to be trapped. The room provided for the master and matron is very inadequate, and is situated just opposite the bath and the night-closet. A refuge for old, disabled men stands in the far corner of the enclosure. It contains two rooms, having one man in each. I inquired as to the operation of the " ticket system "in this hospital, and found that out of a total of fifty-two holders fifteen attended the hospital. Some effort ought to be made to lay out the hospital enclosure. Its present condition is a reproach to the town.

The whole air and appearance of the place have been much improved. Mr. and Mrs. Williams are very kind to the patients.

Napier Hospital. The Napier Hospital is in a condition of efficiency. There is, however, room for improvement in the sanitary arrangements. The system of earth-pan closets as used in that hospital requires a greater degree of deodorization and cleanliness than it receives. A nurses' home has been built within the hospital grounds and is now occupied by the nursing staff, with the curious anomaly that the matron is still resident in the hospital building. The new organization—a resident surgeon and honorary staff of the town doctors —is apparently working satisfactorily. Dr. Menzies' long experience and unfailing kindness have been acknowledged by retaining him as consultant with a small honorarium, and he has been put in medical charge of the refuge next door.

The old female ward is now used as a dining-room. A new enamel bath has been provided. This is a very satisfactory institution as regards the attention and ability of the doctor, and the care and kindliness of the nursing. There has been an increase of Is.

New Plymouth Hospital, 26th January, 1895. A new fever hospital has been built, containing eight beds and one patient. It is well adapted for its purpose. The drainage has been improved at a cost of £130 ; but it is difficult to see how this problem can be permanently solved until a general drainage scheme for the town is secured. The matron has a staff of four nurses suitable for their work. The porter, Boyhan, is seventy years of age, and is getting too old. There is no adequate provision against fire.

Palmerston North Hospital, 14th May, 1895. Fifteen of the seventeen beds in the large male ward were occupied. The whole appearance of this ward is excellent. It is marred only by the construction of the windows and the impossibility of managing the blinds. It was very disappointing in a new hospital to find the plaster on the ceiling cracked in all directions. One large patch had recently fallen, and might have killed any one unlucky enough to have been caught under it. Something should be done to prevent the chimneys smoking. The gardener is, I think, lazy, and unfitted for his work. The whole surroundings of the building are slovenly.

Patea Hospital, 24th January, 1895. I found this small hospital in good order. The master and matron have left since my last visit, in consequence of some difficulties which have emerged. I am not in a position to speak as to the new arrangements.

I have long been of opinion that it would be better in every way if this hospital were converted into an old men's home, and all the hospital ■cases sent to Blenheim.

This hospital was totally destroyed by fire some time ago. I hoped to convince the local authorities that, the Frankton Hospital and the Arrow Hospital being separated only by a good road of nine miles, the needs of the district ought to be sufficiently provided for by the one that is left. I could not convince them of this, and the Government was powerless to prevent the reerection of the Frankton building, owing to the fact that the trustees had a large amount of insurance money in hand and were determined to proceed. All I could get them to agree to was that the new hospital should be built at Queenstown, and that a doctor's residence should not be part of it. I have not been consulted since in the matter.

This is an old and badly-arranged building—indeed, some parts are thoroughly worm-eaten. The demands on the Government have been so heavy for more necessitous districts that it is impossible for the present to grant the assistance which has been asked for to replace the older parts. Dr. Williams's skill and enthusiasm are most praiseworthy. The nursing is excellent. It is a pleasure to visit the institution.

The hospital is, so far as they are concerned, well attended to. The general supervision of Mr. Jowsey is beyond praise, and the nursing is satisfactory.

The staff consists of the resident surgeon, Dr. Kenny, who gets a salary of £400 and a house; the head nurse, getting £50; a nurse, getting £35 ; and five probationers. These nurses are carefully trained, by means'of'systematic courses of instruction, by Dr. Kenny, who is enthusiastic in this matter. I think the Board is very open-handed in the way in which the most recent medical and surgical appliances and instruments have been provided ; but so long as the ratepayers are willing to pay I am not disposed to find fault. The care and attention devoted to their work by Dr. Kenny and his staff I find quite satisfactory. There is a decrease of Is. 2fd. in the daily average cost per patient.

The central administrative block and the two flanking wards form the part now under contract, at a cost of £6,000, including everything, as the levelling and laying-out of the grounds, &c. It is very desirable, on many grounds, that the whole plan should be completed ; but, as the existing contract will provide all the accommodation that is absolutely required for the present, and seeing that the Government cannot be expected to grant any more money, I would suggest that an effort should be made locally to raise such a sum as, with the Government subsidy, will complete Mr. Atkins's admirable plan.

The nursing staff is numerically larger than in some of the other large hospitals, but this has rendered it possible to introduce a reform in the direction of eight hours' work —a reform that is likely to prove beneficial to the health and efficiency of the junior nurses. It is also satisfactory to note the nucleus of a system of private nursing. The development of this should be of value to the public, and of benefit to the funds of the hospital.

Dr. Willis, the newly-appointed surgeon, appears to be a capable man, full of energy. I anticipate that he will infuse new energy into this institution. He must, however, be adequately supported, and in especial an effort must be made to provide a supply of surgical instruments and other appliances.

Ofd.; less patients' payments, 6s. llfd. The time has come when a new departure in the Government policy of administering this important district is absolutely necessary. At present a large capital has been invested in bringing in a splendid cold-water supply, which, together with the hot springs abounding in all directions, ought at once to be turned to account. The mineral constituents of the springs round Eotorua are well known; but the district as a whole, of which Eotorua is merely the door, is the most wonderful in the world. It is necessary that a comprehensive scheme should be laid out, including Waiotapu, Orakeikorako, Wairakei, and Taupo districts. A straight road to Taupo should at once be made, with stations at all the above places, where tourists could stay. The present road takes the traveller as far as possible away from the wonders with which the country abounds ; and nothing is more amazing to me than the apathy with which we allow this wonderland to remain inaccessible and unknown. At Eotorua the hospital is admirably conducted, but it is meant merely to accommodate poor people, who cannot afford to live at the hotels. No one is charged more than cost price, and a large proportion are admitted free. It follows, of course, that the average weekly cost per head is high. » This is largely due to the fact that the cost of managing the baths is laid on the sanatorium, while the fees received are spent by the Town Board. A great deal of public discontent has been aroused and much clamour caused by the absence of any proper system of looking after and providing for the ailments and comforts of people who resort to these baths. The existing accommodation has been long outgrown, and especially since the opening of the railway. New baths, specially designed for tourists and invalids who are able to pay, ought to be provided. Many persons object to use the present hospital baths, and expect much more attention than Dr. Ginders is able to give. I think an active young man, skilled in Continental balneological methods, should be brought out to attend to the non-pauper invalids and travellers; but to do this without a comprehensive scheme and a vote to carry it out would be waste of money.
CHAEITABLB INSTITUTIONS. The Costley Home. This is an admirably-conducted institution. I found everything in good order. The food and clothing are well looked after. The garden is well cultivated, and great interest is taken in the welfare and comfort of the inmates by the members of the Board and many philanthropic ladies. The average weekly cost per head is 6s. 3^d.

Waikato Bbfuge. This is a well-designed building, situated within the hospital reserve. It contained at the date of my visit seventeen persons, all of whom were suitable cases. They are well cared for in every respect. A new enamel bath is very much required. Gisbobne Old Men's Home. This place is very much improved in respect of cleanliness since my last visit, but the principle of farming-out these old people is a bad one, and ought to be stopped. A bath is very much wanted. The average weekly cost per head for last year for six inmates was 14s. 6d. Napiee Old Men's Befuge. The Old Men's Eefuge at Napier is kept in admirable order, but the building itself has outlived its usefulness. The space is too cramped—there is no possibility of employing the inmates at light and healthful land cultivation—and the quarters allotted, to the infirm and incurable are not suitable. The evil of male-pauper nursing is most glaring in this institution, and the ward where cancer cases are placed apart and expected to tend each other is outside modern humanity. The average weekly cost per head is Bs. 4-J-d. New Plymouth. No systematic method of dealing with old people requiring food and shelter has been adopted in this district. Probably the Board is waiting for the new Bill which has been so long promised. The old men at Tenui Hospital are left to look after themselves, and although I observe some improvement since my last visit, the want of cleanliness and comfort is very marked. Ten persons are harboured in the hospital annexe, and they are well looked after. Wanganui Eefuge. This is an excellent building, originally built for a boarding-school, but admirably adapted for a refuge. It is built of the best materials, and the workmanship is of the best. I found twenty-nine persons resident, three of whom were women. The average cost per head is ss. lid. a week. Everything was clean, and an air of comfort prevailed. Wellington Home foe Aged Needy. The Home for the Aged Needy, Wellington, is admirably managed by Mr. and Mrs. Shortt. It is pleasant to think that so bright and peaceful a home of rest is available for those colonists who have spent their strength in the development of their country. The average weekly cost per head is ss. sfd. The Ohieo Eoad Benevolent Home. The rooms and beds in the main building are all clean and in good order. There seems to be great pressure for admissions to this institution, while its situation renders it difficult to increase the accommodation. The average weekly cost per head is ss. 3d, Jubilee Home, Woolston. The women's quarters in the Jubilee Home are all that could be desired, and Miss Higgins is an efficient matron. There is an excellent infirmary ward, under the special charge of a trained nurse. This is as it should be, and the comfort of the aged, infirm, and helpless women in the Jubilee Home stands out in strong contrast to those Homes where one aged inmate is told off to minister to his still more helpless fellows. The average weekly cost per head is 7s. 4Jd. Ashbueton Old Men's Home. There is nothing to recommend this as an old men's home. The building is old and unsuitable, and the situation in such close proximity to the township is to be deprecated. More attention might be paid to the sanitary condition of the sleeping-rooms without unduly interfering with the liberty and comfort of the inmates. There do not seem to be so many sick and helpless in this Home as in some of the others. The average weekly cost per head is 6s. 3|-d. Timaeu Eefuge. I found this institution in good order. The kitchen, closets, and urinals have been Very much improved. An air of cleanliness and comfort pervaded the place. The average weekly cost per head is 10s. 6d. Otago Benevolent Institution, Caveesham. The new wards in the Otago Benevolent Institution are approaching completion, and will give relief to the over-crowding. Mr. and Mrs. Mcc keep everything in excellent order; but here also the evil custom of paupers endeavouring to nurse their fellow inmates is much in evidence on both male and female side. Perhaps it may be possible for a change to be made in the direction of an infirmary for the helpless and incurable, under the supervision of one or more trained nurses when the new wards are ready. The average weekly cost per head is ss. 3d. Inveecaegill Eefuge. Mr. Eoache, the Chairman last year, has been a good friend to this institution. The whole place has been repainted. New closets have been provided. The garden is in excellent order. The old men's dormitory is overcrowded. The average weekly cost per head is Bs. 4d. D. MacGeegoe, M.A., M.8., Inspector of Asylums and Hospitals.
