    And further, as hospitals appear to have suddenly developed a political value and status, contemplated legislation by Parliament is impelling the Board to make sure that no criticism, as far as possible, shall attach to this Hospital, and is accordingly reducing hours of work by increasing the staff and raising salaries, which will altogether total about £250 per annum. 9. —At the close of the year the value of Stores in hand amounted to £100, a similar amount to that at the close of 1936. 10. —Capital Account : Balance, £11 13s. 11. —Samaritan Fund : The Cash at Bank is £124 13s. 12. —Reserve Fund is £232 2s. 3d., plus investments.

The further welcome donation of the Hospital Work Guild is maintaining this fund upon a firm basis and there is cause for gratitude for the Guild’s continued assistance in this respect. 17. —Penny Fund.—The Board again expresses hearty thanks to the Employees of the firms who have contributed to this fund, which increased £63 during the year and indicates what is felt to be a sign of returning prosperity to the town. The Board is particularly grateful to those who are responsible for the collection of the various sums ; at the same time assuring the Collectors of its appreciation of the work involved, and of its value to the Hospital as a means of ensuring its successful maintenance. Of newcomers it welcomes the Staffs of: Sir J. Cawley and Co. (Hemswell), County Court Staff, Halfords’, Morris’ and Stubbs’, collections from which firms will be made during 1938. 18. —Medical Staff.—The thanks of the Board are due to the members of the Medical Staff, for the care and attention they have bestowed on the patients and for their valuable services to the Hospital. - .
