Lorne Infirmary Lornesville...? COMPLETED- THANKS!

[Dale]

Hi
I have a death cert which states the deceased died at Lorne Infirmary Lorneville in the 1930s.

I'm presuming this was in Southland/Otago area  but can anyone tell me just where?
I'd be interested to know more about the Infirmary and if any records might be available?
Thanks
Dale

Archives have some records for Lorne Hospital, which locals may know if it was part of the infirmary??? so moree specific records may be under SOuthland District Health Board.
