Canberra Community Hospital Ordinance – Amendment to Enable the Appointment of a General Superintendent

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

No. 18 of 1964

	The amendment is being introduced as a result of a recommendation of the Canberra Community Hospital Board.

	The rapid expansion of the Hospital to six hundred beds has brought about a corresponding increase in the responsibilities and duties of the present Medical Superintendent.

	It has been found necessary to divide the duties of the Medical Superintendent into two, placing the general administrative functions under a General Superintendent and the medical duties under a Clinical Superintendent.
