Appeal on behalf of St. Vincent's Orthopaedic Hospital by the Rt. Hon. the Viscount FITZ ALAN of DERWENT,
K.G., G.C.V.O., D.S.O.
EVERYONE is alive to the importance of early treatment of crippling diseases in children, combined with training in suitable trades to enable them to earn their own living. The open-air wards and workshops of St. Vincent's Orthopaedic Hospital, where boys and girls from a few months up to sixteen years of age are received for treatment, and subsequent training, bears this necessity urgently in mind. The Hospital, which stands on Haste Hill , looking across the valley to Harrow, is under the care of the Sisters of Charity, and among the members of its council are Lady Lovat, Sir James Calder , and Sir Cecil Pereira. There are 140 beds; but the waiting list, especially on the girls' side, where a new ward is urgently required, is a long one-Lord FitzAlan, by making this appeal, carries on the interest which his brother, the late Duke of Norfolk, took in this Hospital in its early years.
