Administrative / biographical background

Under the National Health Service Act 1946 separate arrangements were made for teaching hospitals, ie. those hospitals which, in addition to providing the usual hospital services, provide clinical facilities for training university students to become doctors and dentists. Their administration was entrusted to boards of governors which combined the functions of a regional board and management committee.

Under the National Health Service Reorganisation Act 1973 the boards were abolished with the exception of those of the hospitals specified in Schedule 2 of the Act, viz, the Hospitals for Sick Children, the National Hospitals for Nervous Diseases, the Royal National Throat, Nose and Ear Hospital, the Moorfields Eye Hospital, the Bethlehem Royal Hospital and the Maudsley Hospital, St John's Hospital for Diseases of the Skin, the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospitals, the National Heart and Chest Hospitals, St Peter's Hospital, the Royal Marsden Hospital, Queen Charlotte's Hospital for Women and the Eastman Dental Hospital.
