The Future of Voluntary Hospitals

چکیده
varieties of Voluntary Hospitals : General Hospitals, Special Hospitals and Cottage Hospitals, so-called. In the past, the medical staff of a Voluntary Hospital has given its services either entirely gratuitously or, in a few instances, each member of the staff has received a small honorarium for out-of-pocket expenses. It has always been understood, however, by the honorary medical staff of a Voluntary Hospital that the services given in this honorary capacity were to be for the necessitous poor, and not for patients for whom or from whom the hospital has received monetary consideration for treatment. Some hospitals in this way receive considerable sums of money. In my own hospital-?St. Bartholomew's?last year the amount of money received in this way was nearly ?30,000, about one-fifth of the annual hospital expenditure. On this account the position of the medical staff and finance ought to be reconsidered.
