Immediately behind the Administration Block
and between it and the Wards, but quite separate from
the latter, the Discharge Block is situated. This
consists of three rooms leading into one another. It
is through these rooms that patients pass during their
final disinfection, preparatory to being discharged
from hospital. The patient invariably enters at one
end of the series and leaves by the other. In the
entrance room he removes all his infected clothing,
having done this he passes into the second room, the
bath room, where he is disinfected, he then passes
on to the third room, where he puts on his outdoor
garments, finally passing into the open air by a
second door in this particular room.
The Male Staff Quarters which shortly will be
ready for occupation is really the old laundry rearranged
and structurally altered. The accommodation
provided here is for 5 staff, and consists of 1 large
dormitory, 1 smaller sleeping room, 1 mess room,
scullery, bathroom, etc.
On the southern aspect of this block, but entirely
shut off from the rest of the building, are the
mortuary and post-mortem rooms.
