HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATION
CENTRALISING TREATMENT
(By Telegraph—Per Press Association.)
WELLINGTON, May 11
The rising costs of administration and the need for modern equipment would tend to centralise future hospital treatment, said Dr T. F. Corkltill, President of the Wellington Branch of the British Medical Association at the National Hospital Day Service, when yesterday lie stated that opinion was held that a tendency would probably bc for smaller institutions to be .superseded by community hospitals giving wider service.
“The cost of hospital administration had increased enormously, and those concerned with the financing of a hospital all say that the smaller institutions simply cannot maintain the standard of equipment that medical science demands to-day Dr Corkhill said, “so it seems inevitable that the general hospital must more and more give service to the whole of the community placing at its disposal its varied equipment and special service.”
