ADMISSION TO HOSPITAL
CASE OF COUNTRY PATIENTS The need for axi improved, system of admission to hospital of country patients was again impressed on the Auckland Provincial Executive of the New Zealand Farmers' Union at its meeting on March 17. The Ngakura branch, which had moved in the matter last year, again wrote on the subject. It was- now suggested, as an alternative to a former proposal, that doctors be empowered to gra>nt certificates for admission by telephone, on being with by the same medium, without actually seeing a patient. It should not be necessary, it. was urged, to take a patient to a doctor prior to admission to hospital. It, of course, was recognised, that doctors and hospital authorities would need to ceme to an arrangement regarding the limited responsibility that the former could assume in such cases. The letter was referred to the President ami Secretary.
