GREYTOWN HOSPITAL
NEW WARD PROPOSED WORK TO PROCEED, ESTIMATED COST £15,000. The Wairarapa Hospital Board decided yesterday to proceed with the erection of a new ward at the Greytown Hospital, the estimated cost being £15,000. A letter from the Department of Health suggested that the ward should be erected in view of the unsatisfactory position at the hospital but that the proposal for a new nurses’ home should be postponed. Mr Norman Lee (managing-secretary of the Wairarapa Hospital Board) said the estimated cost of the ward and nurses home was £30,000. On the motion of Mr Arch Clark, seconded by Mr W. B. Martin, it was decided to proceed with the erection of the ward. The chairman, Mr H. H. Mawley: “It seems to be the considered opinion of the Department that the matter is urgent.” “There is no doubt that things are very unsatisfactory,” observed Mr Martin. Mr Mawley: “I would not like to see the board go any further at the moment.” He added that he felt a little doubtful about doing any work in war time but after the war things might be more serious from the ratepayers' point of view than they were now.
