Some aspects of hospital planning.

چکیده
HOSPITAL PLANNING as the subject of a presidential address is presently not such an exotic topic as it might have been prior to the publication in 1962 of the Government's ten-year plan for hospital expansion. To-day, consequent on the appearance of the Ministry's voluminous notes on hospital building and equipment, much of the sense of adventure is missing. No longer should plans be shaped by the dogmatism, persistence, rigidity and perseverance of those chiefly involved. Future planning should depend not on the stubborness or strength of personality of the clinician, administrator or architect concerned, but upon scientific fact and estimate. The Ministry tells us what is required and how it is best achieved. When one realises, as Sir Edmund Comptom, the Controller and Auditor General has pointed out, that a non specialised hospital bed can cost anything from £16 to £50, a ward locker from £8 to £34, and that a new district hospital costs £8,000 per bed, the need for some guidance, if not control from the top is obvious. This stereotyped building may lead to a certain amount of conformity, but better plenty of simple, sound, utility type hospitals than some of the medical slums with which we are still saddled.
