    The cot capacity of the unit for which they are responsible having proved inadequate, a new ward of thirteen cots was built, including separate cubicles for the nursing of infectious cases, and this also is staffed by our nurses. During the year an additional Ward Sister has been ap¬ pointed, sixteen probationers have entered for training, and eight nurses have successfully passed the Final State Examina¬ tion for Registered Sick Children’s Nurses. The salaries of all grades of the Nursing Staff have been increased in accord¬ ance with the recommendations of the British Hospitals Association and the Ministry of Health. MEDICAL STAFF. The Committee record with deep regret the death of Dr. Bertram Shires. Dr. Shires joined the Staff as Honorary Radiologist in 1922, and after fifteen years of valuable service, resigned in 1937, since when he had acted as Consulting Radiologist to the Hospital. The Committee have noted with much regret the deaths on active service, or through enemy action at home, of many old and valued friends of the Hospital. They would like to take this opportunity of expressing their appreciation of all that these friends have done for the Hospital, and their sympathy with their relatives. The Committee continue to pursue their policy of maintain¬ ing the Hospital at present at as low a cost as possible, and of building up a reserve which will be available when the Hospital is once more able to resume its functions. They earnestly hope that those who have helped the Hospital in the past will continue to do so. NATHAN OF CHURT, Chairman MURIEL E. LESLIE GAMAGE, V ice-Chairman
