HOSPITAL RATING
FIGURES FOR WAIRARAPA DISTRICT. FARMERS’ UNION DISCUSSION. "In view of misconceptions which may have arisen by the publication of various sets of hospital figures following the Municipal conference figures for this district should be of interest,” stated Mr L. T. Daniell at yesterday's meeting of the Wairarapa Provincial Executive of the Farmers’ Union. It would be noted, he added, that on a population basis the rural dwellers paid four times as much per head as the urban dwellers, which illustrated the absolute unfairness of the incidence of the present system of hospital rating. The figures for the Wairarapa Hospital Board district were as follow: — Population: Borough 16,611, 47.5 per cent; counties, 18,303,52.5 per cent. Valuation: —Boroughs, £4,336,161. 18.5 per cent; counties, £19,071,658, 81.5 per cent. Levies, 1938-39:—Boroughs. £5216 Is 18.5 per cent; counties, £22,941 8s lOd. 81.5 per cent.
