    Mr. P. Worth, Chief Male Nurse, passed away after a serious illness. Mr. Worth had intended to retire at the end of the year on completion of 40 years' service. His death was a great shock to everyone who knew and respected him. The Rev. J. B. Phillips conducted the Sunday services throughout the year. Communion services were held at Christmas, Easter and Whitsuntide. The following nurses are to be congratulated on passing their examinations in 1949 :— Male Nurses P. Fitzpatrick, R. Mees and J. Thrall passed the final examination of the Royal Medico- Psychological Association. Nurses M. Duggan and M. Scanlon were successful in Parts I and II of the Preliminary examination of the General Nursing Council for England and Wales. Nurses M. Meehan and J. M. Barry and Male. Nurses C. J. Nunn, F. G. Price, R. Moon passed Part I of the Preliminary examination of the General Nursing Council for England and Wales. There have been many changes since the change-over to the National Health Service. These have meant much increased work for the staff. I am happy to say the spirit of sendee prevails. With the wilhng co-operation of the staff, all difficulties have been overcome. My thanks are due to the new Management Com¬ mittee for much help and guidance. H. R. FERGUSON, Medical Superintendent.
