to all hospitals—nevertheless each branch of the administration produces its own
peculiar problems.
The section concerning general hospitals deals with the admission of patients
to hospital, the various groups of patients dealt with, and the arrangements made
for the patients both medically and generally. This section also includes reference to
certain ancillary services and matters outside the administration of the hospitals. The
special hospitals section is sub-divided according to the character of the hospitals
concerned. Another section deals with matters affecting both general and special
hospitals.
Details of the expenditure incurred on the hospital services will be found in the
Annual Report of the Council, Vol. IV, Part II (Hospital Finance), which is published
separately.

Grouping of hospitals and institutions—Recovery of expenses.
The Council on 13th November, 1934, decided that, for the purposes of the enactments
specified in section 58 of the London County Council (General Powers)
Act, 1934, the undermentioned groups of institutions under the management of the
Hospitals and Medical Services Committee should be deemed, as regards each
group, to be one institution.
The principal effect of grouping establishments for the purposes of the section
quoted above will be that uniform rates of maintenance will be fixed from time to
time for each group of hospitals or institutions of a comparable nature instead of
varying rates, as hitherto, according to the particular hospital or institution in
which a patient is treated or maintained. Except in the case of recovery from local
authorities, the actual sum assessed, if any, will, of course, depend upon ability
to pay.
