EXAMPLE TO DOMINION

ACTION OF HOSPITAL BOARDS IN TARANAKI ESTABLISHMENT OF MOBILE X-RAY UNIT. DIAGNOSIS OF TUBERCULOSIS. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) NEW PLYMOUTH. This Day. “This is an augury of a new and improved system of control that may set an example for New Zealand,” remarked Dr M. H. Watt. Director-Gen-eral of Health, when a conference of representatives of the hospital boards of Taranaki, at Stratford, approved of the principle of a mobile unit for the X-ray diagnosis of tuberculosis. A sub-committee was appointed to formulate a detailed scheme for the establishment and running of such a unit and the subsequent' treatment of patients. The committee will also confer with the Maori Trust Board in view of a Maori proposal to contribute towards the cost of the unit, and the fact that there is a greater incidence of the disease among Maoris than among Europeans. The idea of the mobile unit is that it should be equipped with the latest development in X-ray photography—a miniature plant that makes mass examinations possible at a reasonable price—and, being mobile, it may be taken to the people’s homes, enabling X-ray examinations to be made under conditions more acceptable to the Maoris in view of a reluctance on the part of some of them to go to hospitals for examination.
