    ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF MANAGEMENT OF HOVE GENERAL HOSPITAL With Audited Statement of Accounts for the Year 1945 AGAIN we have to present an abridged Report, as the restrictions on paper are still enforced by the Ministry of Supply. As a result, we are unable to present a list of our Governors and Subscribers and similar detail and we must, therefore, crave your kindly consideration. This form of Report has been agreed by all the Voluntary Hospitals who are members of the British Hospitals Association. The Year’s Work During the year restriction of the number of beds reserved under the E.M.S. Scheme has been further reduced, and comes to an end on 1st April this year. Owing to this fact we have been able to admit more patients to the wards and so reduce our waiting list, which still amounts to 100. This has the serious attention of the Board of Management. The number of patients admitted to the wards has increased by 200, and the number of operations has increased by a similar figure. X-Ray examinations have increased by 1,000 during the year. These figures will show that the work of the Hospital is steadily growing and is caused chiefly by the return of the evacuated population, and also new residents in the district. Our Honorary Staff have, therefore, had to work at great pressure in order to give the desired attention and full service to patients. Hove General Hospital In-patients treated (General) .
