Appeal on behalf of the Connaught Hospital by Captain MALCOLM CAMPBELL
THE Connaught Hospital, which started in 1878 as a small cottage home for sick children, has steadily increased until, today, it contains 100 beds for in-patients and serves a population of at least 330,000 people. The latest addition to the Hospital includes two large wards, a new Nurses' Home, new Casualty and X-ray Departments, and quarters for three resident doctors. These were built at a cost of over £50,000, and were opened by Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of York. Although the local inhabitants responded nobly, nearly f7,000 remains to be found. Moreover, to keep pace with the progress of medical science, further improvements are constantly demanded; but these cannot be supplied until the existing debt has been paid off. In spite of the fact that all the wards were not open last year for the whole twelve months, 1,151 in-patients were treated, and out-patients made over 41,700 attendances.
