Hospital and Friendly Societies Bill Debate in Parliament
In Wellington on December 3 the Impress Supply Bill proceeded through stages. The Hospitals and Charitable Institutions Bill saw a heated debate over a clause allowing boards to arrange maintenance terms for Friendly Society members in hospitals, with opposition arguing it unfairly shifts costs and could disorganize institutions. The clause was defeated, a new clause on hospital district union was inserted, and the Bill passed its third reading before adjournment at 3.35 a.m.
