Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by section seventy-five of the Hospitals and Charitable Institutions Act, 1926 (hereinafter referred to as “the said Act”), it is provided that a Hospital Board may at any time establish new institutions of any of the kinds therein set out, including, inter alia, a hospital for the reception or relief of persons requiring medical or surgical treatment or suffering from any disease, whether infectious or not; and, further, that no new institutions shall be so established or building erected unless the consent in writing of the Minister of Health has been previously given:

And whereas by section seventy-seven of the said Act it is enacted that it shall be the duty of every Hospital Board to provide and at all times, to maintain such hospitals, and to make such other provisions as the Director-General of Health from time to time considers requisite in any part of the Hospital District for, inter alia, the reception, relief, care, or treatment of persons suffering from injury or from any disease other than an infectious disease:

And whereas by section one hundred and one of the said Act it is enacted that if at any time it appears to the Governor-General in Council that a Hospital Board has failed or refused to perform any duty imposed upon it by the said Act, or has unreasonably failed or refused to exercise any power conferred upon it by the said Act, it shall be lawful for the Governor-General in Council, inter alia, to direct or authorize the Director-General to do or cause to be done on behalf of and at the cost of the Board any act which the Board ought to do or has unreasonably in manner aforesaid refused or failed to do:

And whereas the Director-General has considered and considers it requisite that the Thames Hospital Board should provide and maintain a hospital in the Borough of Paeroa for the reception, relief, care, and treatment of persons suffering from injury:

And whereas it appears to the Governor-General in Council that the Thames Hospital Board has failed and has refused to perform the duty imposed on it by the said Act of providing and maintaining as the Director-General considers requisite a hospital in the Borough of Paeroa for the reception, relief, care, and treatment of persons suffering from injury:

And whereas it further appears to the Governor-General in Council that the Thames Hospital Board has unreasonably failed and refused to exercise the power conferred upon it by the said Act of establishing in the Borough of Paeroa a hospital for the reception and relief of persons requiring medical or surgical treatment in child-birth or suffering from any disease connected with child-birth:

And whereas the Minister has duly given his consent in writing to the establishment of such hospital or hospitals as aforesaid and to the erection of a building for that purpose:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor-General of the Dominion of New Zealand acting in pursuance of the powers conferred upon him by section one hundred and one of the said Act, and of all other powers him in this behalf enabling, and acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said Dominion, doth hereby direct the Director-General, on behalf and at the cost of the Thames Hospital Board, to erect or cause to be erected on any lands in the Borough of Paeroa vested in the Thames Hospital Board which in his opinion are suitable for that purpose a hospital comprising a casualty ward containing two beds and a maternity home containing six beds—that is to say, a hospital for the reception and relief of persons requiring surgical treatment not exceeding two at any one time and a hospital for the reception and relief of persons requiring medical or surgical treatment in child-birth (or suffering from any disease connected with child-birth) not exceeding six at any one time, together with staff-accommodation and outbuildings and other erections, fittings, fitments, and other fixtures so far as may in the opinion of the Director-General be usual and necessary for the purposes aforesaid, but so that the amount expended in respect of buildings and other erections and fixtures shall not exceed the sum of seven thousand five hundred pounds:

And doth hereby further direct the Director-General on behalf and at the cost of the Thames Hospital Board to equip the said hospital so as to be erected with such furniture, furnishings, medical and surgical appliances, and general equipment as shall in the opinion of the Director-General be usual and necessary for the purposes aforesaid:

And doth hereby further direct the Director-General on behalf and at the cost of the Thames Hospital Board to maintain the hospital to be erected and equipped (with power to engage, employ, and dismiss surgeons, nurses, and other persons as he may think fit) until further directed by Order in Council in that behalf.

F. D. THOMSON,
Clerk of the Executive Council.
