Scheme Approved at Annual Meeting: SANCTION to the expenditure of £35.000 on further extensions, including maternity and private wards, to the North Herts and South Beds Hospital, Hitchin, was given at the annual meeting of the hospital on Wednesday. Viscount Hampden, who presided, mentioned the fact that the sum of out) had already been expended for building purposes since 1932. Outlining the proposals. Commander Clive Pinsent, chairman of the hospital, said trial provision was also to be made for the accommodation of resident medical officers. Funds were not at present available for a further block of administrative offices. In view of the large sum for which the hospital had already appealed to the public, the Council did not think it was quite the right time to make another appeal. For the £35,000 expenditure which was sanctioned, the hospital would borrow on its agreement with the County Council. The County Council grant would be increased with the erection of the new block, and they would get an additional sum of money on which they could borrow. Several years ago the hospital was made a legacy of £5,000 towards a maternity block. This was now worth just over £6,000. The plans, said Commander Pinsent, had been made out and it was hoped to commence building shortly.
