HOSPITAL BENEFITS
MINISTER’S STATEMENT PLANS TO BE ANNOUNCED TO CONFERENCE I Par Press Association.] NEW PLYMOUTH, Feb. 6. Because it will be the last meeting before the Social Security plan comes into operation on April 1 and because the Minister of Health, Hon. Peter Fraser, is to discuss the application of the plan to hospitals, the annual conference of the New Zealand Hospital Boards’ Association, beginning at New Plymouth on Wednesday, is expected to be the most important yet held. The Minister’s announcement that medical and allied benefits of Social Security will not come into force on April 1 has raised the point whether the arrangements for hospital finances will be affected. However, the Minister, in a Press Association statement from Wellington last night, stated that he would announce plans for hospital and maternity benefits at the hospital boards’ conference. The Minister added that his recent remarks regarding the non-com-mencement of medical services on April 1 did not apply to monetary payments under the Act. The conference will open on Wednesday and extend over two days.
