AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY

AMENDMENT OF THE CANBERRA COMMUNITY HOSPITAL (CHARGES) REGULATIONS

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

No. 6 of 1955

	A superficial skin therapy plant was recently installed at the Canberra Community Hospital.  It is proposed that the charge for the use of the plant will be the minimal one of 5/- per service, the same as for a casualty visit.

	As the Hospital did not possess a superficial skin therapy plant when the Regulations were introduced in 1952 there is at present no authority for the making of this charge.  The purpose of this amendment is to provide the necessary authority.
