Cox who raised £374/3/3, The Ilkeston General Hospital Darts League who raised £350 and the Pillow Blaskey School of Dancing £39/3/8. The amount standing to the credit of this account at 30th June, 1947 was £1,473/6/6. To the many who have sent miscellaneous gifts to the Hospital, particularly for the patients, the Governors offer their sincere thanks. The Junior Hospital Committee have recently purchased Lockers, Bed Tables and Special Beds for the hospital to the value of £225. We have not been able to record the results of their fervent and sustained efforts elsewhere in this year’s Report, but the Governors and Patients are desirous of taking this opportunity of expressing their feelings of gratitude and admiration for their continued interest in the welfare of our hospital. The Clergy and Minister are asked to accept the thanks of all for officiating at the Sunday Morning Services and for ministering to the patients so regularly. Miss M. A. Annand resigned the post of Matron in March of this year and these varied duties are now in the capable hands of Miss M. F. Willey. The Governors wish to record their appreciation to all members of the Nursing and General Staff for their devoted services so willingly given. During the interim period prior to the Nationalisation of the Health Services it is vitally important for the welfare of our hospital that all those who have given so freely of their time and energies should continue to do so. The Governors appeal to all those who are interested in our institution to make every effort to help maintain the standard of the hospital for the mutual benefit of all.
