The University of Otago (“the licensee”) is the current holder of a licence under section 9 of the Mental Health Act 1969 to keep mentally disordered persons at the premises of Ashburn Hall, 496 Taieri Road, Halfway Bush, Dunedin (“the licence”).

I am satisfied that the licensee is taking steps to enable the premises at Ashburn Hall to be registered as a private hospital under the Hospitals Act 1957, and so, pursuant to section 138(4) of the Act and in respect of the licence, I extend the period specified in section 138(2) of the Act until the close of 31 October 1998.
Dated this 28th day of October 1997.

Under section 138(2) of the Mental Health (Compulsory Assessment and Treatment) Act 1992, the licence is to continue in force until 31 October 1997.
