‘WONDERFUL RESULTS'
CRIPPLED CHILDREN GREATER SCOPE FAVOURED (By Telegraph.—Press Association) AUCKLAND, Tuesday “I would like to see the Wilson Home for Crippled Children at Takapuna become an Institution for patients from the whole of the North Island," said the chairman of the Hospital Board, the Rev. W. C. Wood, to-dav, addressing the provincial Federation of Women's Institutes. “My opinion is that the Wilson Home should be enlarged in scope," he added. “I believe it would be a mistake to leave it to the care of one hospital board." lie suggested that all North Island boards should cooperate In the management to extend the home and contribute towards its maintenance. He said £IO,OOO was being spent on the new’ therapeutic department, the only one of Its kind in the Dominion. "Like a birdcage full of Joyous songsters," was his description of the home. “We have received 51 children since the home opened at the end of August and have been able to discharge 17 of them. All have not gone out 100 per cent recovered, but all have materially benefited and the muscles which were paralysed have been brought back to action. The results have been wonderful. This is due to environment as well as treatment.”
