![Fund for the erection of a Research Laboratory at Papworth is now under consideration. The original project, however, has not been lost sight of, and the Committee are endeavouring to obtain a promise that a Children’s Hospital will be provided by the Regional Hospital Board as soon as conditions permit. The House Committee appointed in 1947 was dissolved in September 1948 consequent upon the setting up of a House Committee by the Hospital Management Committee. In its place the Committee have now set up a rota of visitors, two of whom will visit the Settlement each quarter. The Committee wish to express once again their sincere thanks for the continued generosity of our suppor¬ ters, without which our work in the field of rehabilitation could not go on ; to the Papworth Guild whose work for the welfare of our patients has been so genuinely appreciated ; and to the Honorary Staff, the Medical Director, and all our executives and employees, for their loyal service throughout a trying and difficult year. Finally a special tribute must be paid to my predecessor, Mr. J. E. Bidwell, who to our great regret relinquished his office as Chairman of this Committee last July. One of our original ‘foundation’ members, his untiring and devoted service to Pap¬ worth dates back to 1918, and we are indeed grateful to have him still with us In the capacity of Vice-Chairman. RICHARD BRISCOE, Chairman. [7]](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b31689759_0007.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
