apart from the general waiting-room, for use after seeing the doctor. C. Buffet. Simple food, such as milk, tea. biscuits and bread and butter, should be procurable at low charges. CONCLUSION We desire to draw the attention of the public to those needs of patients. It is clear that we require more hospital beds, more nurses, less overworked nurses, better equipment and service, and better provision for the patients' well-being whether as in-patients or out-patients. The existence of isolated hospital units as we have now under the voluntary system is not, and cannot be, for the public good. Only a co-ordinated system can give full service. The voluntary hospitals have long been conducted with special attention to the convenience of its honorary staff of doctors rather than to the comfort of patients. Since the Voluntary Hospitals cannot and do not provide what is necessary, it is a matter of urgency to establish and develop a system of hospital accommodation under public control and paid for from public funds. We must do our best to see that all hospitals now under the Public Health Authorities give full attention to those needs which we have described. But we must not be content until there is a complete scheme which will give to every patient the fullest opportunity of speedy and full recovery. (15)
