(/) The Dispensary.
With the provision of the new kitchen, the old kitchen and other rooms in
the old Administration Block became surplus to requirements and it was decided
therefore to convert the same into an up-to-date Dispensary.
The old kitchen, scullery and larder have been completely stripped and
re-equipped with the neccssary sinks, draining boards, shelving cupboards.
A Laboratory has been provided with its store adjoining and provision made
for storing dressings and serum, while the small office in the front of the building has
been enlarged and converted into a Visitor's Room. The Resident Medical Officer
has been furnished with an Office and a room ha? been provided for Records.
The alterations and additions to the heating and hot water systems and the
installation of the Refrigeration plant and Cooking Apparatus have been carried out
under the supervision of Messrs. J. Roger Preston and Partners who, in collaboration
with the Borough Engineer, have acted as Consultants to the Council in this
connection.
