    of the Hospital, but his place was most commendably taken at short notice by the Deputy Medical Superintendent, Dr. David Rice. The Committee are glad to report that Dr. Carse has now been completely restored to health. The Committee desire to express their great indebtedness to the many voluntary organisations and amateur societies who have actively interested themselves in the happiness of the patients. There have been two developments of importance to which the Committee wish to refer with especial gratitude; firstly the Women’s Voluntary Services have taken over the management of the Hospital Library, the service of refreshments on Visiting Days and the visitation of some of the friendless patients ; secondly, the League of Hospital Friends, formed to benefit the Royal West Sussex Hospital, has decided to widen its scope and to become the League of Friends of the Chichester Hospitals (including Graylingwell Hospital). The Committee sincerely commend the work of this League to all who wish to help the Hospitals in a practical way. Subscriptions may be sent to the Treasurer, Barclays Bank, Ltd., Chichester, or to any of the Hospitals. The Graylingwell Shorthorn Dairy Herd have again achieved noteworthy successes and all concerned are to be congratulated. The future of the farming activities carried on at Hospitals is at present under National review but at the time of writing this Report a decision with regard to Graylingwell Farm has not been reached. In conclusion, the Committee desire to express their continued appreciation of the valuable services rendered by the Medical Superintendent, the Group Secretary and all the Officers and Staff. Signed on behalf of the Management Committee at a Meeting held on the 28th day of July, 1955. ANDREW CAIRNS, Chairman.
