Consultant in Physical Medicine Mrs. Sutcliffe Hey — Consulting Dental Surgeon GENERAL. There have been no changes during the year among senior psychiatric medical staff. I should, however, like to say how pleased we are to know that Dr. Sargant has made a good recovery from his long illness and has resumed duty. The Registrars however, all left during the twelve months under review. Dr. Weaving going as Registrar to the Westminster Hospital, Dr. Glasspole as Registrar to Botley’s Park Hospital, while Dr. Lindsay went as Senior Registrar to St. Bernard’s Hospital and Dr. Ferguson as Senior Hospital Medical Officer to St. Nicholas’ Hospital, Newcastle-on-Tyne. Dr. Nemeth left to take up a post in the United States. The Registrars who left were replaced by Dr. Gorst from Shenley Hospital, Dr. McCarthy from Powick Hospital, Dr. Seager from Barrow Gurney, Bristol, Dr. Stallard from South Western Hospital, Glasgow, Dr. Tarlo from Bolton General Hospital and Dr. Yorke-Moore from Hellesdon Hospital, Norwich, to all of whom we extend a hearty welcome. * - Among the general consulting staff the only change was the resignation of Dr. Robinson, Consulting Anaesthetist on having reached the age limit for retiring and his replacement by Dr. Gibson. During the year the usual maintenance of the buildings has been carried out and also a considerable amount of redecoration. All the male wards have been redecorated, also the Children’s Unit, the pottery shop and games room, but much of the hospital including the Nurses’ Home is in a deplorable state of delapidation. The Regional Board has approved a scheme which is awaiting Ministry approval for the building of a new Nurses’ Home and it is to be hoped that there will not be any long delay in starting work on the Home as the nurses’ accommodation can only be inadequately described as sub-standard.
