OTAKI COTTAGE HOSPITAL.
The Hon. ,7. A. Young (Minister of Health) has written to Mr. \\ T . H. Field, M.P., with reference to the Otaki Hospital, stating: “So far as the Health Department is concerned, I propose to take steps to recommend the Palmerston North Hospital Board to put the hospital into a proper state of repair, so that it will be available for cases of accident, illness, and minor surgery. All cases, however, requiring urgent surgical attention, necessitating major operations, are to be sent by ambulance to the Palmerston North Hospital. So that there may be available a sufficient staff of medical men and nurses to deal effectually with such cases, I have instructed Dr. Valintine (DirectorGeneral of Hospitals) to arrange with the Palmerston North Board accordingly, and action to give effect to this arrangement will be taken forthwith. Arrangements will also be made in regard to the medical staffing of the Otaki Hospital to meet the situation. ”■ In a separate message, the Prime Minister (the Right Hon. .J. G. Coates) expressed the- hope that the proposal would be satisfactory in the circumstances.
