An appeal on behalf of THE MANCHESTER ROYAL INFIRMARY by GRACIE FIELDS
The Manchester Royal Infirmary was founded in 1752 in a small house with only twelve beds. Today, with 885 beds under its direct control, it is the largest teaching hospital in the provinces.
The Infirmary, which serves not only the city of Manchester but the whole of the north-western region of England, is equipped with every modern clinic required in a large general teaching hospital.
The most recent addition is a large orthopaedic and physio-therapeutic block with a daily fracture clinic where injured persons are restored to their normal duties in a fraction of the time hitherto required.
The deficits on the Maintenance
Fund have during the past eight years totalled £128,543 and its free capital reserves have now come to an end.
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged, and should he addressed to Miss Gracie Fields, [address removed].
