Appeal on behalf of the Royal Hospital and Home for Incurables, Putney by Michael Flanders
Contributions (preferably by crossed postal order or cheque) will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to Michael Flanders, [address removed]
The National Health Service looks after the chronic sick. Local Authorities provide homes for the aged and infirm who do not require constant nursing and medical care. The R.H.H.I. bridges the gap between those two services by providing under one roof the security and comforts of a permanent home with facilities for hospital treatment and rehabilitation. Its 250 patients, mostly crippled by disease or accident, can no longer be looked after in their own homes.
