OTAKI HOSPITAL.
The Department of Health wrote to the I'almerston North Hospital Hoard yesterday, regarding terms of admission of patients to the l'ukeora aud Otaki Sanatoria. It had been the practice, it was stated, to admit suitable cases for treatment where the applicants stated their ability to pay the full fees, and in the case of those unable to do so. to direct them to the Hospital Board of their district, upon whose guarantee ol payment the fees, they were admitted. The system had its drawback* in that sou pplicants win, had guaranteed to pay full fees had found themselves, after admission, unable to do so. It had. I her.-fore been decided that all patients must make Board in whose district they resided The fees would be lis per day at l'ukeora. and it- at Otaki. The Department was willing as heretofore, to sneept payment from patients on behalf of Boards, and remit litem to the Hoards concerned, and generally to as. collection of accounts.—Receive,!.
