SHANNON MEDICAL SOCIETY.
PROSPECT OF A GRANT. (
With reference to the medical arrangements at Shannon, Sir James Wilson (chairman) reported to the Palmerston Hospital Board yesterday that he had interviewed Mr J. A. Nash M.P., on the matter. He had intimated to Mr Nash that, while it was unwilling to incur expenditure, the Board would do any work involved if a grant was mac Te. _ A letter was received from the Minister of Public Health (Hon. C. J. Parr), advising that he had approved a validatory item of £6OO to he placed on the Estimates. The Board’s request for a subsidy on the contributions of the Shannon Medical Board could not be acceded to. The Board was claiming a subsidy on patients’ fees, rather than on voluntary contributions. The subsidies which the Board claimed in error were therefore' not legally payable out of permanent appropriations, hut they could be transferred to the grant of £6OO mentioned.
The letters were received, and the chairman’s action was approved.
