HOSPITAL RATING
MINISTER FAVOURS BETTER SYSTEM.
WELLINGTON, April f). An assurance that he recognises the necessity for evolving a better system of hospital rating, and that personally he will leave no stone unturned to give statutory effect to a fairer basis of taxation should a system be found which is in the interests of all the
local authorities, was given by the Minister of Health, the Hon A, .T. Stallworthy, to a deputation . representing a majority of the counties of the South Island. He said lie appreciated, the case put by the deputation, but would have to analyse the position further. They would not be satisfied fuitil they got a more equitable basis of rating. If he was given time as Minister of Health a serious effort would he made to bring about a better basis for Hospital finances. The Government had a tremendous programme ahead of it, hut he was satisfied it was absolutely imperative that they should evolve the best hospital rating system possible. He thought that if a scheme were brought down it would be a good course for it to bo submitted to u conference of local bodies before being adopted.
