With reference to your despatch No.462 of

28th December, 1925, on the subject of the terms on which

patients are admitted to Government hospitals, I have the

honour to state that the matter has been fully reconsidered

since my predecessor's despatch No.102 of 11th March, 1925,

125

was written.

2.

After consultation with the Principal Civil

Medical Officer I have come to the conclusion that there is

force in the contention of the British Medical Association

that private medical practitioners in this Colony are

subjected to unfair competition in that a person would ordinarily prefer to enter a hospital, such as a Government hospital, where charges for maintenance only and not for

medical treatment would be made, rather than a private hospital where charges both for maintenance and for medical treatment by a private medical practitioner would be made.

It has therefore been decided that a new

scale of charges, as set out in the enclosed copy of Government Notification No.556 of 8th October, 1926, shall

nclosure

of 24th December, 1909, as from 1st January, 1927.

be substituted for the present scale of charges which is shown in the enclosed copy of Government Notification No.820
