HOSPITALS TO CLOSE A very considerable portion of these increases is due to the opening in about March next year of the new

The accommodation in the hospital is, however, considerably greater then the combined accom- modation of the Government Civil and Victorin Hospitals; over 500 beds as against 318 beds, and it is neces- sary to provide for the possibility that this accommodation will be fully used. Considerable increase in staff and in provision for equipment is therefore inevitable.
