PAEROA HOSPITAL
TO BE OR NOT TO BE? (From Our Own Correspondent) THAMES, To-day. “The director-general himself has no such power,” stated the Thames Hospital Board’s solicitor, in giving an opinion on the demand of Dr. T. H. A. Valintine, Director-General of Health, to the board to erect a hospital at Paeroa, or he would order its erection and charge the cost to the board. He added that the director-general could only do so on the direction of the Governor-General in Council. It was for that council to determine whether the board had unreasonably refused to erect the hospital. It was decided at yesterday’s meeting of the Thames Hospital Board to invite the Minister of Health to discuss the position at a special meeting of the board.
