MANCHESTER ROYAL INFIRMARY

Abstract

The home has been built on the site of the old Christie Hospital, originally a private house standing in a large garden and situated on the eastern side of the Infirmary. The building is planned roughly in the shape of the letter Y, so that the rooms may receive the maximum amount of sun and air; they look on to the garden enclosing the building, and are fitted with those modern appliances which make for comfort, noiselessness, and efficiency. The leg of the Y contains on the various floors the administration section, kitchens, x-ray department, and operating theatres. The building will accommodate 100 patients and has cost £100,000, towards which the Royal Infirmary Board has received donations amounting to £20,000.
