HOSPITALS AND CHARITABLE INSTITUTIONS OF THE COLONY (REPORT ON THE), BY THE ASSISTANT INSPECTOR OF HOSPITALS.

Presented to both Houses of the General Assembly by Command of His Excellency.

The Assistant Inspectoe of Hospitals and Chaeitable Institutions to the Hon. the Ministee of Education. sth July, 1902. The total cost of administration of charitable aid in 1901 was £79,873 ; this year, 1902, it is £88,848, an increase of £8,975. It is satisfactory to note that outdoor relief has decreased by £3,247, and that, out of the total increase of £12,222 for indoor relief, £9,100 has been spent for building purposes. The North Canterbury Charitable Aid Board has provided a new and much-needed Home at Ashburton ; the Taranaki Charitable Aid Board has also built a new Home, and burnt the insanitary building that did duty as an Old Men's Home for many years. The Southland Charitable Aid Board has made considerable outlay on the buildings at Lome Farm. The amount distributed in outdoor relief in 1899 (the year the Old-age Pension Act came into force) was £50,850; in 1901, £42,181 ; and in the year ending 31st March, 1902, it shows a decrease to £37,453. In Auckland and Christchurch the Charitable Aid Board of the district is entirely responsible for the administration of charitable aid. In Wellington and Dunedin the Charitable Aid Board of the district merely acts as the vehicle to collect and convey the funds required by two separate institutions, the Wellington Benevolent Trustees, and the Otago Benevolent Institution. Neither the District Board nor the Government have any control over the expenditure of these subsidiary bodies, nor over their methods of administration. During the last few years a change has taken place in the administration of the Wellington Benevolent Trustees, and their expenditure on outdoor relief has been reduced from £5,664 in 1899 to £3,380 in 1902. The Otago Benevolent Institution in Dunedin shows no sign of progress. Eations are still dealt with by the old contract system. The Visiting Belief Officer in Dunedin is also the Master of the Caversham Home, and in the Caversham Home are some two hundred old men to be looked after. The expenditure of the Otago Benevolent Institution on outdoor relief in 1900 was £5,715; in 1901, £5,831; and in 1902, £5,625. Christchurch and Wanganui have women members on the District Charitable Aid Board, and in Wellington Mrs. Allen was elected a Benevolent Trustee at the last election. In the Costley Home (Auckland) on the 7th February there were 137 men and 45 women. There has been a change of administration here. Mr. and Mrs. Moss, after some years of faithful and good service as Master and Matron, left last July, and one cannot but observe a distinct falling-off in the general management of the Home. The women's side is clean, but absolutely comfortless, notwithstanding that I have mentioned this more than once to Chairman and Secretary. The cleanliness on the men's side is not satisfactory, especially in regard to the lavatories. The laundry and appliances are quite inadequate to undertake satisfactorily the Hospital washing, and friction between the officials of the Hospital and of the Home is the result. The Costley Home is managed with economy, yet, at the same time, it is but a comfortless refuge for old age. The cost per head for maintenance is 7s. 4-Jd. per week. The Caversham Home (Dunedin) on the 2nd May had 203 men and 61 women. Here also the desire for economy prevails over good management. Mr. and Mrs. Mcc do their best, but it is not possib'.e that the Master of the Home can properly supervise the wellbeing of 203 old men, sixty or seventy of them in bed, and do Visiting Officer's work at same time. Mrs. Mcc has a nurse (no salary) to help her with confinements and the sick women ; Mr. Mcc has no assistant. The infirm, paralytic, and bedridden old men are looked after (one cannot call it "nursed ") by other inmates. It is the state of things that existed in the English workhouses some thirty or forty years ago. The cost per head for maintenance is 6s. a week. The Ashburton old men have been transferred to new quarters, a carefully arranged and commodious building, and the old men should be very comfortable there under the kindly care of Mr. and Mrs. Morrissey. Perhaps the Board may see its way to providing a ward for vagrant and destitute women. The Jubilee Home, Christchurch, is the most really homelike institution for the aged in New Zealand : single rooms, married couples' quarters, and the management are all

that could be desired ; but the North Canterbury Board makes no direct provision for the class of women that cannot be admitted to the Jubilee Home. The cost per head for maintenance at the Ashburton Home is Bs. 7|d. a week ; at the Jubilee Home 9s. 3d. a week. The Ohiro Eoad Home, Wellington, was visited on 12th December, 1901, and 31st January and 30th June, 1902. It contains 47 men and 23 women. The management of the Home is thoroughly satisfactory. The food is abundant and of good quality, and the same may be said of the clothing. By reference to the books kept by Mr. Purvis it is seen that each inmate has what is necessary for health and comfort. My last visit was during the tea-hour, and the general atmosphere of comfort and content was pleasant to the sight. No one was in bed. The Home is clean and well kept throughout, and Mr. and Mrs. Purvis manage it admirably. Cost of maintenance per head, 6s. 6d. a week. The Southland Charitable Aid Board has two institutions under its control, one in Invercargill and one five or six miles out of the town. The former has greatly improved under the management of Mr. and Mrs. Cole. On 29th April there were 43 old men, 10 old women, 6 boys, and 9 girls as inmates. The Department has always strongly objected to the inclusion of children in any institution of this character. I understand, however, that as soon as the building at Lome Farm is completed all children will be transferred there, and have regular training, schooling, and careful supervision. At Lome Farm, on 29th April, Mr. and Mrs Cusworth had'l9 old men, 8 boys, and 3 girls under their charge. This promises to be one of the best charitable-aid institutions in the country. The farm is some 57 acres in extent, and last year the sale of garden and farm produce amounted to £117. Only old men who are willing to do a little work reside at the farm ; the infirm remain at the institution in town. The outdoor relief under the Southland Charitable Aid Board has been reduced since the appointment of Mr. Eeginald Day as Secretary. In 1901 it was £2,201 ; in 1902, £1,985. The Taranaki Charitable Aid Board has built a Home for Old Men in a fine situation above the Hospital. On 22nd June there were 23 men and 2 women in this institution. The dinner was satisfactory, and the place in good order. The closets on the male side were insanitary, and something should be done to remedy the state of things as soon as possible. The Jubilee Home, Wanganui, was visited on 3rd August and 20th June. On the latter date there were 27 men and 2 women inmates. Some of the members of the Board give careful supervision to this institution. A wardsman has been engaged to help the Matron. The food and clothing were satisfactory, and the dormitories and rooms in good order. As to the Napier Old Men's Home (visited 28th October), I can only repeat what was said in last year's report :"It is a painful experience to visit it." The woodwork is'infested with bugs, and the place should be burned down. The Old Men's Homes at Timaru (18 men, 2 women) and Nelson (33 men, 5 women) are working satisfactorily. In the Old Men's Home, Tararu, on 16th February, were 31 men and 8 women. Improvements have been made since last visit. There is a new dairy, isolation ward, and laundry. The whole place was clean and in good order, and the grounds round the building well tended. - A difficulty occurs in all these refuges for the old and destitute in dealing with disorderly and drunken characters. Their behaviour disturbs the peace of the other inmates, and frequently they will not conform to the rules of the institution. They cannot be punished except by being turned out of the Home for bad behaviour. If as a last extremity this is done, the man comes under the notice of the police as vagrant and destitute, and sooner or later he has to be readmitted, to the annoyance of all in the Home. As was mentioned in last year's report, there is urgent need for the establishment of a central receiving hospital or infirmary (one in each Island), " where the incurable, helpless, and bed-ridden men and women could be drafted, and placed under the care of nurses, and not left to the ignorant and oftentime cruel tendance of a fellow-inmate." The patients' maintenance in this central hospital could be a charge on their respective Charitable Aid or Hospital Boards. Such an institution would also relieve the hospitals from chronic cases and our asylums from the old persons admitted who are merely suffering from senile decay. The following charitable institutions have also been visited during the year : Women's Eefuge (Dunedin) for maternity cases is a financially successful laundry requiring little or no assistance from the Charitable Aid Board. In the Samaritan Home (Christchurch) on 6th January there were 21 men, 15 women, 7 girls and 6 babies : this home is useful for the vagrant class of old women when they can be persuaded to stay : Miss Early is a kind and energetic matron, and encourages the inmates to employ themselves in various kinds of work. The Linwood Eefuge, for unmarried mothers with their first child, continues to be well managed. St. Mary's Home at Eichmond, Christchurch, is doing good work under Sister Eose. St. Andrew's Orphanage at Motueka (29 boys, 5 girls) was visited 12th June : the building is being enlarged, and when this is completed more children can be admitted ; at present the boys' dormitories are overcrowded: Mr. and Mrs. Haycock and the resident teacher, Miss Allport, evidently have their hearts in the work, and their charges look healthy, sturdy, happy, well fed and well clad : the boys learn all the rudiments of farm-work under Mr. Haycock before being placed out, and two at a time of the elder girls are thoroughly taught household and kitchen work by Mrs. Haycock : this is a very satisfactory institution. The Women's Home, Auckland, still occupies unsuitable quarters in May Cottage, Parnell: the girls are sent to the Costley Home for confinement, and the infants boarded out : a considerable legacy was left to this charity, the girls earn more than their maintenance in laundry work, and Government gives a direct grant; if some change for the better is not speedilymade, I should recommend that the Government discontinue their annual grant. The Convalescent Home, Wellington, continues to be admirably and economically managed by its capable Matron, Mrs. Eitter. The Home for the Aged Needy (37 inmates) is a comfortable refuge for old folk, under the kindly care of Mr. and Mrs. Mackenzie. The Alexandra Home contained 13 unmarried girls and 9 babies on the day of visit: improvements have been made during the last two

H.—22.

years, notably a sheltered and sunny verandah leading out of the nursery : the girls are tidier in person, look brighter, and their surroundings are cleaner and in better order than was the case at date of last report: the attention of the Committee should now be turned to the improvement of the laundry and drying-room. The Levin Memorial Home for Girls is working very satisfactorily : there are 25 little girls : they look bright and happy, clean, wholesome and healthy : they attend school regularly, and get an admirable report from the headmaster, whilst the elder girls are carefully taught household work : the Matron, Miss Ockenden, has the art of "mothering" her big family, and this is really a " home " for the children, and not merely a charitable institution : it would be well if we had more such Cottage Homes in New Zealand. St. Mary's Home, Karori, is doing good work in taking girls from evil surroundings, and training them to be useful members of society. Two new hospitals have been opened during the year, one at Whangarei and one at Pahiatua. The Waihi Hospital Contributors have been incorporated as a separate institution, and the foundation-stone of the new Waihi Hospital was laid in June. An Act to provide for the registration of trained nurses in New Zealand came into force on the Ist January, 1902, and a large number of trained nurses have availed themselves of its provisions. The Act in no way interferes with the right of every person to employ whatever nursing he may desire, nor does it interfere with the employment of any untrained woman by a medical man or the public. The State merely gives a reliable list of nurses who have undergone three years' training in a general hospital, and whose training has been tested by State examinations. An organized movement is on foot in England to attain the same result, and. the following quotation from the Philadelphia Medical Journal of the 15th March shows that America is following on similar lines : " The question now arises whether, in view of the methods by which many so-called trained nurses are educated and let loose upon an unguarded public, the State should not intervene and at least limit an abuse which is dangerous to the sick and an injustice to women who have conscientiously prepared themselves for their chosen calling. We believe that at the present day the most satisfactory solution of the question is to be found in some State regulation of trained nurses. This regulation should involve three things—first, a minimum period of service as student nurses ; second, a minimum degree of qualification on the part of a hospital that attempts to organize a training-school; third, a general examination of all candidates before a State Board. The question is one which needs deep consideration. We hope it will be agitated before the next session of the Legislature." The Council of the Scottish Women's Liberal Association, at their annual meeting in April, passed a unanimous resolution advocating the State registration of nurses.

On the day of visit the male ward was overcrowded, and it is evident the work is increasing. The nursing-staff, forty-five in number, have better accomodation than at any other hospital.

Visited 9th June.—Six men and five women patients. There are many obvious defects in this building, and many inconveniences. The lighting by oil lamps gives extra work and is dangerous. The hospital was in good order, and the nursing-staff work well under Dr. Anderson and the Matron, Miss Eoss.

Such cases fill beds to the exclusion of those who urgently require hospital treatment. The new laundry and its machinery have greatly saved labour in this department, and it would be well if the authorities could now put the nursingstaff in a uniform of washing material. The kitchen, staffed entirely by women, is an example in economy, cleanliness, and good management.

The Queen Victoria Ward for women and children, now in course of erection, will make a handsome addition to this Hospital. A larger number of patients means a larger staff of nurses, and, the accommodation for the staff being already cramped, it would be as well if the Board were to build a separate cottage for the nurses. This is a well-managed Hospital, and Dr. Anderson and Miss Allen are attentive to their duties, and excellent officers.

Stretchers down the centre of a ward at night should not be permitted. The elaborate operating-room has been completed, and is now in use. Eemoval of the children from the main building to the hill wards is a right step. Excavation for the proposed nurses' home is progressing, and its completion will mean greater space for patients. Dr. Ewart and Miss Payne are successful in their endeavours to make this Hospital and its staff thoroughly efficient.
