PREVENTION OF DISEASE.
SUGGESTIONS OF MINISTER OF HEALTH.
Greater development of the system of out-patient treatment for prevention of disease and sickness in the community was advocated by Mr. J. A. Young. Minister of Health, in opening the Wallace Wards at the Auckland hospital on Saturday. “I would like to see the prevention of disease taken up to a greater extent by hospital boards,” the Minister said. “Hospitals are very expensive, and, to my mind, it is better for the community to take steps to prevent disease than to devote all its attention to caring for people after disease has taken them. I feel there is a great work to be done in this direction, not only by the Health Department, but also by hospital boards, in the greater development of out-patients’ departments, and by the nurses going out among the people and co-operating with the nurses of the Health Department.”
