    Administration in the Hartlepools. A happy state of collaboration and co-operation exists between the two Hospitals. Matters affecting both Hospitals have been discussed and conclusions reached with unanimity. Maternity Beds. Reference was made in the previous Report to the Com¬ mittee’s opinion that the facilities existing in the County Borough for the treatment of maternity cases was inadequate. An approach to the Local Authority was made with a view to joint action which, however, did not materialise. The Committee then decided to proceed independently. It was considered that a unit of around 30 beds was required, but could hardly be achieved in war-time. In these circumstances a scheme was prepared, by way of more or less a temporary expedient, to provide 8 maternity beds and ancillary rooms on the first floor of the Administrative Block. The project has been placed before the Ministry of Health, and the matter is held in abeyance pending their decision. Survey of Hospitals. Visits have been made throughout the year by represent¬ atives of the Ministry of Health in connection with a survey of Hospital services and the establishment of Rehabilitation Centres. Conclusion. The Committee looks back at the year’s work with a sense of satisfaction and with assurance that the esteem in which the services of the Hospital are held by the public will result in a continuance of popular support in full and increasing measure.
