NEW ZEALAND HOSPITALS.
FINEST SYSTEM I'N THE ' WORLD. There was no other country in the world, declared the Hon. J. A. Young, Minister of Public Health, at Palmerston yesterday, which had a better hospital system than New Zealand. If'the administration of our hospitals was wrong, then the ratepayers had only themselves to blame, .as they elected men who controlled the hospitals of the Dominion. Despite statements to the contrary, New Zealand hospitals were community hospitals, managed by the. citizens themselves, and every citizen had a right to go to the public hospital for treatment. The hospital was something more than a mass of bricks and mortar; it had human factors consisting of the medical staff, the nursing staff, ■and secretarial and domestic staff. Between all these factors there was room for co-operation in giving good service to the patients who entrusted'themselves to their care.
