Appeal on behalf of St. Andrew's Hospital, Dollis Hill, London, by Wilfred Pickles, O.B.E.
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to [address removed]
St. Andrew's Hospital, Dollis Hill, was founded in 1913 as a voluntary general hospital for the treatment of acute medical and surgical cases among people of any nationality or creed. It has an honorary medical staff of eminent London physicians and surgeons, and is recognised by the General Nursing Council for England and Wales as a training school for nurses. The hospital is not under State control and is administered by a religious community known as The Little Company of Mary (Blue Nuns).
The hospital is maintained by voluntary subscriptions, by contributions from the patients in accordance with their means, and by the State in respect of urgent cases who are unable to be accommodated in a State hospital. The contributions from patients by no means cover the cost of their maintenance and it is only by the generosity of the public that the work of the hospital can continue. Funds are urgently needed.
