Isolation Hospital.
The Isolation Hospital is owned jointly by Finchley,
Hornsey, Wood Green and Friern Barnet. It is situated
at Coppetts Road, N.1o, and contains 150 beds. The accommodation
has proved adequate for the needs of the constituent
Authorities and at no time during the year has any
difficulty been met in getting patients admitted. By arrangement
with the London County Council patients are conveyed
to hospital by their ambulances, a scheme which works
exceedingly well.
