GENERAL PROVISION OF HEALTH SERVICES
IN THE AREA.
Hospitals.
1. Fever.
The Hospital provided for the isolation of cases
of infectious diseases is under the management of a
Joint Hospital Board appointed by the Urban
District Councils of Surbiton, Maiden and Esher.
On the 27th July, 1935, the extensions to the
Hospital were opened by Alderman J. Chuter Ede,
D.L., J.P., the Chairman of the Surrey County
Council.
These extensions comprised 10 cubicle beds and
20 pavilion beds with the necessary additions to the
administrative buildings and nurses' home.
This cubicle block is claimed to be the most
advanced cubicle block in England. Each cubicle
is so designed that the maximum of light and air
is obtained; there is perfect observation and yet a
maximum of privacy.
Attached to the new cubicle block is an operating
theatre, completely equipped.
The pavilion block too is light and airy, clean
in design and easy to administer.
Since the above extensions two further new
pavilion blocks have been completed of 20 beds each,
bringing the total accommodation of the Hospital to
110 beds.
2. Small-pox.
