HOSPITAL FINANCE
(Press Assn.-
deficiency in excess of sum provided by government SURVEY OF POSITION
-By Telegraph — Copyright)
WELLINGTON, ThurS. The financial position of the hospital boards of New Zealand has been reviewed by the exectutive. of the Hospital Boards Association under the headings of maintenance, indoor relief, outdoor relief and exeess unemployment relief expenditure for the first half of the current financial year. The report gives an indication that the Boards as a whole will have a deficieney of a little over £100,000 and it is quite evident that the sum of £75,000 which the Government is providing in the form of advances as extra financial assistance for the boards will be insuffieient to tide them tp the end of the. financial year. The view of the executive in respeet of outdoor relief, which the Boards have to provide on account of unemployment is that it appears to be necessary to inerease the revenue of the Unemployment Board sp that the hospital boards may be relieved of the heavy drain on their finances caused by having to provide outdoor relief to the. unemployed.
