    2 Patients are earnestly asked to help the Hospital as much as possible by contributing according to their means. Although, owing to the War, the Bed complement has been temporarily reduced, the Hospital, which ministers to many thousands of Patients every year, still costs about £500 per week for administration and increased cost of maintenance, mainly due to greatly increased charges for Provisions, Drugs, Lighting and Fuel. Towards this outlay, it receives only about £50 per week from Invested Property—the balance consequently has to be found from voluntary sources.
