CONSUMPTION.
PROBLEM OF TREATMENT. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. At the Hospital Boards conference at Wellington a remit from Otago proposed an amalgamation of Hospital Boards generally throughout New Zealand for the treatment of consumptives with a view to pooling the capital cost and maintenance thereof in proportion to the rateable capital value of districts. Dr. Valentine (Director-General of Health) offered to pool the Health Department’s two institutions in the North Island into a national scheme to enable hospital boards to deal with consumption on a national basis. The chairman of the Auckland Board refused to commit Auckland to a scheme for the two islands, but said they would consider a scheme for each island. It was decided to submit a scheme to hospital boards for consideration.
