“As long as the war lasts/’ said the Minister for Public Health, the Hon. G. W .Russell, at Auckland last week, “the various health resorts —Hamner, Rotorua, and the new convalescent home at Pukeroa, near Rotorua —will be used for the primary benefit of the sick and wounded soldiers who may return to the Dominion. These will have first call over the accommodation at the resorts. After the war, however, it is proposed to make the sanatoria a part of the hospital system of the Dominion.” Mr. Russell went on to say that he meant that any persons from any public hospital in the Dominion would be able to go to cither Hamner, Rotorua, or Pu kero a to complete their cure and to receive, if they wished, the benefits 'of the thermal springs.
