Hospitals and the Patient Report to be presented at the National Conference of Labour Women, 1931 The following report has been prepared by a Joint Committee of the Standing Joint Committee of Industrial Women's Organisations and the Public Health Advisory Committee of the Labour Party. The Committee was presided mover by Dr. Somerville Hastings, M.P., and its members were DR. SOMERVILLE HASTINGS M.P. MRS. M.F. DOUGLAS DR. E. RICKARDS Miss AMY SAYLE MR. G.P. BLIZARD MR. F.A. BROAD, M.P. MRS. GANLEY MRS. C.D. RACKHAM MRS. B. DRAKE MRS. J.L. ADAMSON MRS. LEIGHTON Miss D. ELLIOT DR. MARION PHILLIPS, M.P. MRS. W. NORRIE, (Sec.) The Standing Joint Committee ask the Conference to adopt the report and to do their utmost in all their organisations to see that efforts are made to secure that its many useful recommendations and its final conclusions are carried out. This Report deals only with hospital administration as the patient views it. At this moment, when 129,000 beds formerly under the Poor Law are just coming under the care of the Public Health Authority, in addition to the 200,000 beds already under their care, it is specially important to consider their position and future. Again, amongst voluntary hospitals, with their 65,833 beds, there are many which are finding it difficult to secure financial support to maintain full efficiency, and the system of payment by patients is quickly developing. We are clearly on the eve of important changes in the hospital system, and the purpose of this Report is to place before the delegates at the National Conference of Labour Women (3)
