    CO-OPERATING ORGANISATIONS It is with a sense of deep gratitude that the Board again extend to all who through membership of various Organisations have materi¬ ally assisted in the work of the Hospital. Sincere thanks are extended to :— The Ladies’ League, the Ladies’ Association, the League of Roses, the League of Little Deeds of Kindners, The Clergy, Ministers and Congregations of various Denominations, the Hospital Supply Depot, and all Working Parties who have been so regular and unfailing in their assistance, especially since the outbreak of War. VICE-PRESIDENTS AND BOARD OF MANAGEMENT It is with deep regret that the deaths are recorded of the Marquis Camden and the Earl of Lonsdale, both of whom had been Vice- Presidents for many years and had shown an unfailing interest in all that concerned the welfare of the Hospital and its patients. It was with pleasure that the Board were able to re-elect Mr. Mitchell W. Gordon, J.P., as a member upon his return from Northern Ireland. HONORARY MEDICAL STAFF The Board tender renewed and cordial thanks to members of the Honorary Medical Staff who have continued to give their in¬ valuable services to the patients. STAFF Warmest thanks are again accorded to all members of the Resident Medical, Nursing, Administrative, Housekeeping and other Staffs, and to the Chaplin, who have, in spite of unprecedented difficulties, successfully carried on the work of the Hospital with undiminished zeal and devotion. ROYAL CHEST HOSPITAL The work of the Out-Patient Department of the Royal Chest Hospital (the In-Patient Section of which was destroyed by enemy action) has continued to increase, 33,329 patients having attended for treatment, and those needing In-Patient care were transferred to Wellhouse Hospital, Clare Hall Hospital and Friern Emergency Hospital by arrangement with the Ministry of Health. The Income for the year was £5,526 and the Expenditure £6,964. GROVELANDS HOSPITAL, SOUTHGATE The usefulness of this continuation Hospital for patients in the early stages of recovery is again demonstrated by the fact that 1,055 patients have been transferred during the year, thus releasing beds for the more acute cases at the Royal Northern.
