State Of NSW Hospitals
FROM H. KING WOOD
Sydney. Apr. 10.
The chaotic position of NSW hospitals was revealed during the week when the NSW Hospitals Association claimed that State hospitals owed tradesmen more than £2 million.
According to Sir Herbert Schlink, chair- man of Australia's largest hospital, the Royal Prince Alfred, tradesmen are owed £71,000 for goods supplied there.
Sir Herbert said the hospital was able to keep going only by the mercy of suppliers.
