It will be seen from the plans on pages 113 and 115 that the
buildings consist of a Nurses Home occupying a central position
50 feet from the roadway connected by a covered way
with a Ward Block to the left of the Nurses Home.
The Ward Block has accommodation for 27 patients. On
the ground floor is one three-bedded ward, one two-bedded
ward, two one-bedded wards, one four-bedded ward, and
one two-bedded ward; the first five wards communicate with
the verandah in front of the buildings. On the first floor
there is a babies' ward, one two-bedded ward, two one-bedded
wards, one four-bedded ward, and one two-bedded ward; the
first five of these wards have access to a verandah. In addition
to these wards on each floor is a labour room with sterilizing
room adjoining and on the first floor are two separation
wards. The Ante-Natal Clinic consisting of a waiting-room and
doctor's room is placed on the ground floor near the entrance of
the ward block, but separated from the remainder of the building
by swing doors. The accommodation of the Nurses Home besides
sitting room and dining room accommodation for matron, nurses,
and maids, contains on the first and second floors, twelve single
bedrooms, and four double bedrooms for the nursing domestic
staff. Besides the Nurses Home and Ward Block in the North
West angle of the site is a small laundry, and on the Western
boundary is a coal store.
