(e) HOSPITALS.
The Hospital Services made use of by the inhabitants of
Wembley, apart from those for infectious diseases, are provided
by the Wembley Hospital, Redhill Hospital, Edgware
and the various General Hospitals of London.
REDHILL HOSPITAL.
This Hospital, established chiefly for Public Assistance
cases, is available to others, but unfortunately the hospital
is nearly always full. It is understood that extensions are
contemplated at an early date. The hospital has been constructed
on modern lines, and the care and treatment
received there leave nothing to be desired. It is hoped that
the enlargement, especially as regards the maternity section,
will not be long delayed.
THE WEMBLEY HOSPITAL.
The Wembley Hospital, supported entirely by voluntary
subscriptions, continues to give very satisfactory results.
During 1934 there were 1,091 admissions and 846 operations.
The number of beds has been increased to 63, and includes
a separate ward for children. This is the eighth year of its
existence, and every year shows great strides in useful work,
and in equipment. The Electrical and Massage departments
have been much used by your Maternity and Child Welfare
Clinics during the past year. It is indeed a boon to the district
to have such medical and surgical facilities actually on
the spot.
Your representatives on the Board can report to you,
as generous subscribers to the Hospital Fund that the inpatients
are always willing to express their gratitude for the
care and treatment received there and for the generous diet
provided.
The cost per occupied bed per week for year 1934 was
£2 16s. Id.—quite a satisfactory figure.
The management, the medical, surgical and nursing
staff, can be congratulated on the continued prosperity of
the Hospital, and on the general efficiency of the work, and
also on the fact that no debt has been incurred since its
foundation.
THE ISOLATION HOSPITAL.
For more than twenty years we have been exceptionally
well served in sending our notifiable infectious disease to
Acton.
