They relate to a scheme run by the Council's Education Committee, that advertised 'hospital homes for crippled children'. Under this scheme, a child could be admitted to the hospital for the sum of £30 per annum. This sum was, in fact, paid to the Church of England Waifs and Stray Society by Surrey County Council on behalf of the child's parents.
