HONORARY MEDICAL STAFFS

It was not right and equitable that the honorary staff system should obtain in New Zealand, said Dr. T. H. A. Valintine, Director-General of Health, speaking to members of theWanganui Hospital Board yesterday. In England, where the hospitals were for the very poor, it was necessary to have honorary staffs so that patients would have the very best service. In this country any main, irrespective oif his 'wealth, could enter a public hospital.

“I consider it is better to have a purely stipendiary staff,” continued Dr. Valintine, “and had times been better I should have advised this, but the economic condition of the Dominion would render this step impossible. In Timaru the Department and the Board are trying an experiment and a small stipendiary staff, on small salaries, has been appointed. The people of this country are very fortunate in the men who arc able to give their services in an honorary position.”
