This is a tremendous achievement for both medical and
nursing staff, and in effect means that the hospital is practically
doing the work of a 60 bedded hospital.
Under such conditions some variation of the recommendations
of the Midwives Salaries Committee might be considered justifiable,
especially with regard to senior staff who in such circumstances
may have additional responsibility.
The record of emergency cases is good, and it is pleasing to
note that additional equipment has been added this year to deal
wich premature babies.
In conclusion, I take the opportunity of thanking the members
of the Committee for their generous support on all occasions.
I also wish to mention Dr. George Taylor who acted as my deputy
at Clayponds, and Dr. Dorothy Taylor, my deputy at Perivale;
and throughout my period of office I have had the unfailing help
and guidance of your Clerk, Mr. Harry Birrell.
I am,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
REGINALD LEADER,
Medical Superintendent.
