HOSPITAL CENTRE
BIRMINGHAM’S SCHEME £1,250,000 TO FIGHT DISEASE BIRMINGHAM, Oct. 10. Birmingham’s £1,250,000 hospital centre scheme, the world’s most ambitious project for advancing medical science, is to go forward. During the next few weeks the Lord Mayor’s Hospital Centre Board Committee, which has been sitting for the past nine months to decide the fate of the great scheme, will issue a report recommending that the project should start at the beginning of January. Within 12 months of the first appeal for funds for the scheme by the Lord Mayor of Birmingham the Birmingham public subscribed nearly £750,000. The site was selected, and the contracts were placed for the building of the hospital, but strong opposition to the scheme suddenly arose from the local hospitals, and it was decided that the scheme should bo postponed for one year, A basis of agreement has been arrived at whereby the local hospitals will bo closely associated with the new hospital centre scheme, and will be financially assisted, but not to the detriment of the progress of the scheme.
