Talk:List of hospitals in New Zealand

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Perhaps better divided by region? That way we can see what's missing (e.g. Dunedin hospitals)Grutness

[edit] Public versus Private

Should we create a single list for Public Hospitals, and leave the region grouping for the Private ones? James Pole

I just tidied up Greenlane as it has not been an inpatient service for some time now. That meant of course that 'National Womens' needed clarifying. Both National Womans and Starship were/are specialist units within hospital complexes, so have tried to show that. (Ntl Womens is now a service of ACH but used to be a stand alone building, which Starship still is) but now it seems to be getting a bit messy. Greenlane has played significant roles in NZ's health history and so I feel should be retained, even though no longer an inpatient hospital. Also, I have no idea of simlarities in other centres.

So my questions are; if there are no inpatient services, or day surgery only, is it still a hospital and if the "hospital" is part of a larger hospital complex, should it be listed. Another matter is that Acute Inpatient Mental Health hospitals seem to be not listed (at least for Akkers anyway). I feel they should be.

I will take the guidence on both of these matters from your responses. Cheers L-Bit 23:19, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
