To provide a soundly based regional service and at the
same time to enable the best use to be made of resources, planning will be based on the need for each region to be served by
(a)
a regional hospital: this would be a major acute
hospital equipped with facilities necessary to
treat patients requiring the highest level of
specialist care; it may be that some highly
specialised facilities should be concentrated
in a particular hospital as a colony-wide service
but in broad terms a regional acute hospital should
be capable of providing the region which it serves with all major general specialist services to an
appropriate degree of sophistication.
(B) one or more district hospitals: these hospitals will
provide the basic hospital services in the region
(0)
and will receive patients whose condition is not such as to warrant referral directly to the
regional hospital; a district hospital will
perform a dual role; where the condition of the
patient so warrants he will be referred to the
regional hospital for the more specialised levels of treatment; a district hospital will
also receive patients from the regional
hospital for the later stages of their
treatment when it is medically appropriate
for them to be transferred;
one or more specialist clinics or polyclinics:
these will provide the necessary support and
out-patient specialist services including those for patients
