VICTORIA WARD
THE EVICTED WOMEN PATIENTS. The attention of the Minister of Hospitals was drawn recently to the faot that the Victoria Ward of the Wellington Hospital, which was erected by voluntary subscription for aged female invalids, is still in occupation, by the Defence Department for the treatment of soldiers. The wWd was evacuated during the time that sickness was very severe at Trentham in 1915, in order that it might be used for the treatment - of soldiers. The women who then occupied the building, some twenty in number, were removed to the Homo for the Aged Needy immediately adjoining the hospital grounds. In consequence of the matter being brought before him, the Minister on Monday last personally visited the place, in which these women patienfis are housed, and as a result of what he then saw, lie has instructed the Acting-Inspector-General of Hospitals, Dr. Preogley, to jiave a' report propaml as to tho accommodation, and also as to what is being . done about the admission of now cases of "the same cla6s, which come undor the notice of tho hospital authorities.
