HOSPITAL MATTERS IN TIMARU
DISSATISFACTION WITH THE INSPECTOR-GENERAL.
By Telegraph.—Pr«9a Association. Timaru, Last Night. At the Hospital Board to-day highly caustic comment wag made on the manner in which the board was being treated by the Inspector-General over the regulations for a consumptive sanatorium for South Canterbury and Ashburton. The two boards, under provisions of the statute expressly provided, entered into an agreement to establish and maintain a sanatorium near Fairlie, and Dr. Yalintine approved. Tie regulations were drawn up, but the gazetting was delayed by the Department. A new Act was passed, and the Department now says the boards must proceed de novo. The board to-day decided not to do so, but, if necessary, subject to the approval of the Ashburton Board, to apply to the Supreme Court for a mandamus directing that the regulations be gazetted. The second subject of similar comment is the Inspector-General's approval of the plans submitted for a new Old People's Home. Dealing with ordinary business, the board adopted the recommendation of the Waimate committee that legislation should be sought for to prevent accident patients making a compromise with an accident insurance company without the consent of the hospital board, to which they were indebted for treatment.
