8. I have refrained from referring to the Nursing
Institute hitherto, because there has been no change of site
contemplated with regard to it. It is still proposed to erect
the building in High Street to the Eastward of the Medical Staff

have been prepared by Messrs. Palmer and Turner, whose design
was selected out of those originally submitted in competition.
10. As regards the Hospital and Nursing Institute, the
accommodation provided is substantially the same as originally
proposed and an equal number of beds can be given.

Staff required to manage it, and this has been done by providing
two semi-detached 5-roomed houses in close proximity to it.
