North Devon Infirmary

The House Committee of the North Devon Infirmary, in consequence of the serious financial position, owing to the falling off of donations and legacies, has been obliged for the present, to close one of the wards.

It is estimated that, for the financial year which ends 30th June, 1910, there will be an adverse balance of at least £500. The legacies received by the Infirmary during the present financial year have been unprecedentedly low – as a matter of fact, a sum of £15 only has been received since 1st July, 1909, and the donations up to 1st April, 1910, show a large decrease from those of last year.
