Mass Radiography Service—Welsh Regional Hospital Board In the Northern Area, Unit “F” of the Welsh Regional Hospital Board paid 23 daily visits to Llandudno during 1958 and 46 visits to Bangor. In addition special surveys were carried out at Bethesda, Hotpoint Electrical Appliances Co. Ltd., Llandudno Junction and Oakwood Park Hospital, Nr. Conway. In Llandudno the Unit was located at the General Hospital and in Bangor at the C. & A. Hospital and visits were on alternate Mondays in Llandudno and every Tuesday in Bangor. Attendances at Llandudno were disappointing probably due to the fact that the Hospital is some distance from the town but arrangements have now been made for the Unit to be stationed at the Town Hall where a larger attendance is anticipated.
