In Liverpool only one comparison can fairly be made, since Hill Road is the only Acute General Hospital run by the City. The figures (1936) for this and the four similar Acute General Voluntary Hospitals are :- Hospital. Cost per Week (1936) £. s. d. Hill Road Hospital 3. 3. 4 Royal Southern Hospital 2.18. 6 David Lewis Northern Hospital 2.14. 5 Liverpool Royal Infirmary 2.13. 7 Liverpool Stanley Hospital 2.12. 4 By both standards, therefore, Liverpool Voluntary Hospitals can be acquitted of wasting the funds subscribed for them. 5. Cash value of Merseyside Voluntary Hospital Services. No one to-day would invent the Voluntary Hospital System. But it exists already and is doing good work. On Merseyside, anyhow, the greatest practical argument against municipalisation now is that it means throwing away an annual cash contribution of about £162,000 from the Voluntary Hospitals to the Health Services of the area, viz: £ Investment Income 34, 600 Donations, Subscriptions, etc. 49,500 Legacies 48,200 Honorary Medical Services (valued at Municipal salary rates) 30,000 £162,300
