PEAK HOSPITAL TO- CLOSE.

Not Paying Its Way.

The Peak Hospital is being run at a loss and the shareholders have decided to close down on Sept 30th.

The Hospital was founded by Dra Hartigan Stedman and Rennia in 1900 and these gentle- men, who own the bulk of the shares, wish to withdraw their capital. Dr Marriott and Harston hold a number of shares in the Hospital, but they do not wish to increase their financial interest. The remaining shares are held by the Custodian of Enemy Property (on behalf of Drs. Muller and Justil, the Banque de l'Indo-Chine and the Mission d'Etrangers.

The reason for closing down is that the expenses of keeping the building in repair are so great that it is quita impossible to carry on without financial loss. The building is quité inadequate for the purposes of a modern nursing home and in the opinion of the Architects to render the building adequate for such a purpose and to put it in a thorough state of repair, rebuilding would be necessary."

Some time ago plans for a fine modern building in the shape of++ a Maltese Cross were drawn up by Messrs. Leigh and Orange. The community were approached through the Chamber of Com- merce, with · view to building. but no support was given to the scheme. Under the present scale of fees, which cannot be increased, the Hospital is only just able to pay expenses, sad this yes the expenditure has exceeded the income.

There are various Government, schemes for increasing the hospital accomodation in the Colony which will serve the in- terests of private practitioners, but such schemes will probably not mature for at least two of three years, and during the interval it will be dificult to find accommodation for the class of patients at present admitted to the Peak Hospital.

Although the Pesk Hospital has only sixteen beds available for patients, there is no doubt that if the institution does close its doors many people will be greatly in- convenienced. All the beds have

been

occupied since Christmas: and, on an average, some three hundred patients are treated every year. During the time the Hospital has been open it is estimated that between six and seven thousand patients have passed through the institution.
