(towards the mainten¬ ance of the Beecham Laboratories) ... ... 1,000 Metropolitan Hospital Sunday Fund ... ... 960 Alexandra Day ... ... ... ... ... 925 Arsenal Football Club ... ... ... 800 The Hon.

From the Contributory Schemes which have made payments towards the cost of maintenance of their members whilst undergoing treatment, the Hospital received and acknowledges with gratitude the following amounts :— Hospital Savings Association ... ... £15,524 Hospital Saturday Fund ... ... ... 1,987 The ordinary Income for Maintenance amounted to £158,238, including £370 transferred from Legacies. The Income was £6,346 less than in the previous year. There was a deficiency of £48,987, because the total Expenditure amounted to £207,225. The steep rise in the cost of Hospital equipment and commodities, together with new and substantially increased scales of salaries and wages for all sections of the staff, resulted in £46,139 more having to be spent than in 1945, although steps were taken to ensure that economy was exercised in every Department. The extra Expenditure was also partly due to there being 80,597 additional attendances of Out-Patients. The accounts indicate that any difference between Income and Expen¬ diture of the Branches has been met by an apportionment of the re¬ quisite sums from the General Funds. The value of the Hospital’s Endowments at the end of the year was £109,649 and there were credits on various Special Funds, other than Building Accounts, of £30,771. «
