    They sincerely hope that financial considerations will not he permitted to interfere with the important proposals which have been made and which, if implemented in this area, should solve what has become to the Committee a pressing and disturbing problem. 6. MEDICAL STAFF. By the death at an early age of Dr. M. B. Brody, the Hospital and, indeed, psychiatry in general, has sustained a grievous loss. Dr. Brody came to Graylingwell as Deputy Medical Superintendent in 1946 but relinquished this appoint¬ ment in July, 1949 to succeed Dr. E. Stengel as Director of Clinical Research. He will long be remembered not only for his outstanding professional abilities, which had gained him an international reputation, hut also for his charming personality which had endeared him to all with whom he was associated. He has been succeeded as Deputy Medical Superintendent by Dr. E. P. H. Charlton, to whom a cordial welcome is extended, and his successor as Director of Clinical Research is to be Dr. Martin Roth. Another loss to the Medical establishment, but in happier circumstances, was occasioned by the resignation of Dr. R. L. Buttle to take up a senior appointment at Fulbourn Hospital, Cambridge; he is to be congratulated on this well-earned promotion. The advice of the Group Medical Advisory Committee has been of great assistance to the Management Committee in their consideration of medical matters and thanks are due to them for their co-operation. 7. STRUCTURAL AND CAPITAL WORKS. The following major schemes were completed during the year:— Improvements to Staff Accommodation. Erection of hut for use as a Preliminary Training School. Connection of the Hospital to the public electricity supply. Connection of Old Place Farm Cottages to the public water supply. Extension of the water supply to all Farm Meadows.
