NRS-16174 | Wallend District Hospital Board and Committees: minutes [second series]

Full description

This is a nearly complete master set of the Minutes of the Board of Directors of the Wallsend Mining District Hospital and of its subordinate committees from 1934 until the closure of the Hospital in 1991; only the Minutes for the last six months of this period are missing. The Minutes are in bound typescript format, in nine volumes whose pages are numbered consecutively from 1 to 3947; the latter part of the eighth volume (from May, 1987) and the whole of the ninth are un-numbered. The final meeting of the Board of Directors took place on the 29th Sept., 1986, but the various subordinate committees continued to meet and function after this date, and from 13th May, 1987 they were overseen by the Advisory Committee set up to report to the Hunter Area Health Service on the affairs of the Hospital. The Minutes of the Advisory Committee form part of this series thenceforth. The eighth volume of the Minutes contains, in addition to the Minutes for 1983 - 1989, an Index to their contents from 1934 down to 1979. Pages 3884, 3887, 3897 and 3907 have been transferred from their original places in that volume to the beginning of the ninth volume, apparently for ease of reference to their contents.
