The districts served by the Hospital include East Ham and an important corner of
the County of Essex. For the purposes of maintenance of the centre, at the cost of
1,000Z. for 1918, the County Council of Essex and the Borough of East Ham have
joined with the County Borough of West Ham and the Port Sanitary Authority.
The subscription of the Authority remains at the same figure as for the
nine months of the previous year.
The above excerpted figures indicate a vast body of work and denote the need that
existed for this centre as affording true facilities.
