The Staff

It may be of interest to our readers if we give, in brief, some figures as to the number of officers, N.C.O.'s and men, sisters, nurses, and other employees on the pay list of the Hospital.
There are 42 officers and 204 N.C.O.'s and men. Of the latter, 80 additional have been sanctioned. There are 114 Territorial Force sisters and nurses. Of T.F. Nursing Association probationers - which is the title accorded to our friends the V.A.D.'s as soon as they enter the hospital - there are 134.

These figures (which may have altered - but only slightly - since The Gazette went to press) will be increased as the hospital extension is completed. Other employees, in addition to the above are: Engineer's staff, 9; laundry, 1; tailoresses, 2; secretary, 1; officers' servants, male 6, female 2; nurses' servants (for hospital and houses) 31; lady helpers (from Red Cross Society and Labour Exchange) 25.
