PRIVATE ESTABLISHMENTS. THIS STATEMENT HAS BEEN REINFORCED BY THE CANBERRA HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATORS.

ST. GEORGES ADMINISTRATOR POINTED OUT THAT A CLINICAL MEDICAL SCHOOL IN THE A.C.T. WOULD COST THE CANBERRA COMMUNITY IF THE EDUCATION SECTOR HAD NO FUNDS TO CONTRIBUTE TOWARDS IT.

IT WAS EXPLAINED THAT MANY PRIVATE HOSPITAL BEDS WERE FULL OF GERIATRIC PATIENTS AND WERE BEING USED AS NURSING HOME BEDS. MANY PRIVATE HOSPITAL BEDS WERE USED FOR DAY SURGERY ONLY WHILE STILL OTHERS WERE JUST REHABILITATION HOSPITALS.

THESE REMARKS ARE INTERESTING FOR THEIR SIMILARITY TO FEEDBACK FROM OTHER NSW HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATIONS AND A.C.T. HOSPITALS.
