So far as the Borough of Leyton is concerned, the Scheme
provides that there shall be provided for the Boroughs of Leyton
and Walthamstow a minimum of 261 beds ; that such accommodation
shall be provided by the Walthamstow and Leyton Joint
Hospital Board which it is proposed by the Scheme shall be set up,
and that the Councils of Leyton and Walthamstow shall take all
necessary steps for the formation of such Joint Board.
The Essex County Council was duly informed that the Leyton
Corporation concurred in the terms of the proposed scheme, but
since that time no progress has been made in the direction of the
formation of a Joint Hospital Board.
