Appeal on behalf of the City of London Maternity Hospital by Lady NEVILLE PEARSON (Miss GLADYS COOPER )
THE City of London Maternity Hospital, which has the Queen as its patron and the Lord Mayor as its President, is one of the oldest maternity hospitals in England, as it was founded as far back as 1750. Situated, as it is, in the heart of the poorest quarter of London, it fulfils a vital need, and the demands upon it are pressing. It already possesses, in addition to the Hospital itself, an Ante-Natal and Child Welfare Centre, and a School of Midwifery ; but its immediate requirements include an up-to-date operating theatre, more wards for paying patients, the enlargement and reconstruction of its Nurses' Home, and more facilities for doctors and nurses to attend midwifery courses. As the ordinary income of the hospital is quite inadequate for carrying out this work, it is imperative that the sum of £50,000 should be raised at once.
