CHAPTER 11.
GENERAL HEALTH SERVICES.
1. HOSPITALS. The whole of Wembley lies within the area
of the North West Metropolitan Regional Hospital Board but
hospitals accepting the sick are administered by two Hospital
Management Committees, the Central Middlesex Group Hospital
Management Committee and the Hendon Group Hospital Management
Committee, the two major general hospitals being the Central
Middlesex Hospital and the Edgware General Hospital.
The Wembley Hospital also accepts general cases but is under
the control of the Governors of Charing Cross Hospital.
Maternity cases from certain parts of the borough can be admitted
additionally to the Kingsbury Maternity Hospital and
bookings are undertaken through the Obstetric Out-Patients'
Department of the Central Middlesex Hospital.
Infectious diseases are normally accepted at the Neasden
Hospital or, in case of necessity, at the Hendon Isolation Hospital.
