After several conferences this was agreed to. Acton made
arrangements for its infectious diseases to be received into the South
Middlesex and Richmond Joint Hospital at Mogden, while Wembley
entered into an agreement with Hendon.
The Hospital at Mogden is one of the most modern of its kind
in England, the equipment is complete and up to date.
A satisfactory financial agreement was arrived at, and the first
cases were admitted to Mogden on the 1st November, 1946, the few
remaining cases being transferred from Acton and Wembley Joint
Hospital on the 30th November.
The Middlesex County Council gave an undertaking that should
an epidemic arise, they would assist in finding alternative accommodation
for the cases.
The Acton Voluntary Hospital treats both surgical and medical
cases, as does the Central Middlesex County Hospital which is
maintained by the Middlesex County Council.
