HOSPITALS
Lambeth is within the catchment area of two hospital groups, the Lambeth
and Camberwell Groups. These in turn are administered by two different
Regional Hospital Boards, the South West Metropolitan and South East
Metropolitan respectively. The areas served by the two hospital groups
extend beyond the Borough boundaries. The Lambeth group has premises outside
the Borough whilst the Camberwell Group has none in it.
In addition to hospitals within the normal hospital framework of the
National Health Service there are two teaching hospitals in the Borough,
King's College Hospital and St. Thomas's Hospital each with its own board
of Governor's.
