MEDICAL INSPECTION OF IMMI GRANTS
(Hv Telegraph —Press association.) CHRISTCHURCH, Last Night.
Notwithstanding the medical inspection of new arrivals in the Dominion, a woman suffering from consumption was permitted to land. A« application was made for her admission to a consumptive sanatorium within four months of her arrival. The matter came before the North Canterbury Hospital and Charitable Ajd Board to-day, when the Public Health Committee reported as follows : —"There appears to be no effective restriction regarding persons landing in New Zealand. Recently a man with his wife and family arrived here, and now only four months after their arrival an application is made for the wife's' admission to a sanatorium. She bad been under treatment in a sanatorium in England., but was uot cured. The husband says that he cannot pay tho board's fees if sho is admitted. -The committee has decided that in this case the fees must be paid, if the patient is accepted as an inmate of the institution."
It was decided that the attention of the Minister of Internal Affairs should ho drawn, to the matter.
