Ward Block.—This is a Block of two main wards, each 60ft. x
24ft. with a duty room in the centre. There are two small wards
16ft. x 12ft., one at each end of the Block. There are two casement
doors on the south side of each main ward which open on to a
paved area. Each ward is equipped with sluice rooms, bathrooms,
lavatories and store rooms.
The general construction and equipment are on similar lines
to the Cubicle Block.
The cost of the extensions was £90,497.
Mr. Evan E. Morgan, the chief Architectural Assistant to
the Borough Engineer and Surveyor of the Borough of Ealing
was responsible for planning the extensions in accordance with
the directions of the Committee and the Medical Superintendent.
The Ealing Borough Electrical Engineer, Mr. Ronald Birt, B.Sc.,
A.M.I.E.E., was responsible for drawing up the specification of the
electrical installation and for the execution of this work.
This completes the first stage of the extensions ; the second
stage will be entered upon when the new Maternity Hospital is
opened at the end of this year, when the old Maternity Hospital
will be added to the Isolation Hospital and when the central
engineering services for the enlarged Isolation Hospital will be
extended and the Administrative Block of the old Maternity
Hospital will be improved.
