LETTER TO EDITOR
Congratulations to Wanganui Hospital Board Member, Mr G.T.W. Butler for suggesting that Board meetings be held upon occasions in the district hospitals. Mr W.B. Hunt, in opposing the concept, suggests that "district hospitals didn't have the facilities to cater for all the board members." As a resident and taxpayer in the Waimarino I can assure Mr Hunt that the Waimarino Hospital, Raetihi, could more than cope with such a meeting and provide adequate overnight accommodation and meals. It is this parochial elitism
evinced among some elected members of the Wanganui Hospital Board which is alarming. The Waimarino is at the growing edge of development for the entire Wanganui region and it is not unusual to be treating patients from Berlin, Paris, New York or London within the confines of the local hospital. No doubt this will 'blow the collective minds' of the Wanganui Hospital Board, city members especially, as it is hardly likely that their horizons reach farther than Aramoho, Durie Hill or Ingestre Street.
