HOSPITAL-MINDED
DEMAND FOR ACCOMMODATION
BOROUGH COUNCILLOR'S QUERY
"What is the cause for this tremendous increase for hospital accommodation " demanded Mr H, G. Warren at the conference between the Borough and County members last week. "Throughout the Auckland province huge buildings are going up everywhere. There seems to be something radically wrong that this should be so. Are we declining as a race ? Has our physical stand-' arcl so deteriorated that we can't stand up to disease as we used to, or is it a fact that people are. rush*ing there as patients when they could have applied a few poultir.es or taken a dose of cough medicine at hbmft." The chairman (Mr J. L. Burnett) said he did not think we. were deteriorating as a race. That had been proved by the war. But the fact remained that people were today becoming more hospital-minded than ever before.
