NINETY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE COMMITTEE OF MANAGEMENT
TO GOVERNORS AND CONTRIBUTORS—
Ladies and Gentlemen,
We have the honor to present to you the ninety-sixth Annual Report and Financial Statements
for the year ended 30th June, 1948.
During the year under review an increased service has been rendered, despite the fact that we have
been unable to provide additional accommodation. We feel that never at any time in the history of
the Hospital has such a comprehensive service been given to the people.
PATIENTS.
In all sections of the Hospital we treated 5241 inpatients compared with 5030 for the previous period.
With the exception of the Infectious section the demand for beds has been heavy. It has not been
possible to cope with the full needs of the people, and waiting lists for beds have had to be inaugurated.
Our medical staffs find it necessary to exert a strict control over admissions and discharges so that the
patients who need our services most shall receive them. Our average stay for inpatients was 14.18
days, which is slightly less than last year. Unfortunately we are forced at times to discharge some
patients from the Hospital when they should perhaps have a day or so longer stay, but for the present
this state of affairs must go on.
In our Midwifery Section a record of 427 patients were accommodated. Our limited accommodation
has been very severely taxed because so many private hospitals have recentjy closed down, but, by a
judicious handling of the position we have taken 125 more patients than in the previous year. In Geelong
the midwifery bed position is a source of continual worry and will remain until we are able to build
our new 70 bed maternity unit.
Also in our Outpatient Department a record of 11,785 patients were treated and the attendances
numbered 24,853.
The following table sets out detailed figures for the year, and a close examination discloses the fact
that 17,026 individuals received hospital service through the year.

FINANCE.
The year just ended has imposed a severe strain on our Hospital's financial resources. The total ex.
penditure amounted to £99,368, made up as follows :—
Cost of maintaining—Public Wards £60,512
Infectious Wards 5,403
Outpatient and
Casualty Department .... 7,148
Cost of new—Equipment (Surgical and
Domestic) 3,429
Buildings (Progress Payments) 598
73,063
22,278
Total Public Hospital ... £99,368
KardSiinia House
Maintenance Account.
Expenditure compared with the previous year increased by £11,410 to reach a figure of £73,063. The
fact that this amount is almost double maintenance costs of only five years ago reflects very clearly the
ever increasing cost of commodities used in the wards and all departments, and, further, the upward
trend of salaries and wages.
Despite the fact that grants from the Commonwealth and State Governments, through the Charities
Board of Victoria, have been liberal and voluntary contributions maintained at a high level, the year
closed with a deficit of £3,031.
Income amounted (to £70,032, an increase of £8,155 compared with last year, and it is pleasing to
record that by way of annual subscriptions, auxiliary workers' efforts, entertainments and Gala Day,
almost £12,000 was contributed by the citizens of Geelong and district to assist their Hospital in its work.
Audited financal statements, together with comparative statistics, appear in another section of the
report. The following is a condensed summary showing application and source of revenue relative to
public wards and the outpatient department:—

MEDICAL STAFFS.
During the year some re-organisation of our Honorary Medical Staffs was made with a view to
giving a better service to our patients and we are pleased with the general results achieved. A new
outpatient clinic in Gynaecology was inaugurated and a new Sterility Clinic was established. Each year
we are hopeful that some new special department will )e created, but some delay must be occasion d owing
to lack of space in which to work. We have had splendid co-operation from our Honorary Medical
Officers and our thanks are conveyed to them for their untiring efforts to raise our standard to an
e.ven higher level.
RESIDENT MEDICAL STAFF.
Our Resident Medical Staff has had a particularly heavy year, and the members have made an
outstanding contribution to the work of the Hospital. It is not generally recognised that a vast
amount of work is accomplished by Resident Medical Officers. They are on call for 24 hours a day
and very often are still at work in the early hours of the morning. Our team of young men has this
year earned the gratitude and respect of patients, staff and management.
During the latter portion of the year, the Medical Superintendent (Dr. L. T. Griffiths) resigned to
enter private practice, and until the end of June, Dr. A. C. Bell acted as Medical Superintendent.
After consultation with the Charities Board, it was decided, to advertise the new position as a senior
one, as it was felt that the work now being done in the Hospital was so complex, that it required a more
experienced man for the position. From many applications received before the end of the year, we
appointed Dr. W. F. H. Crick to the new post and arrangements were made for him to commence duties
early in July.
NURSING STAFF.
Our nursing services have been maintained at a very high standard, and we here pay a tribute to
our Matron (Miss J. M.' Elliott) for her untiring efforts in organising this important service. She has
been ably supported by the Deputy Matron and Tutor Sister (Sister E. M. Anderson) and other senior
members of the nursing staff. The training of nurses to take their place in the community is one of
the most important tasks of our Hospital, and this year we have trained many excellent young ladies.
In June, our first Graduation Ceremony took place, when Colonel A. E, Coates, O.B.E., M.D., M.S., was
the guest speaker. The function was an outstanding success, and those privileged to be present were
very much impressed Staffing has not been easy during the year, but we have been able to maintain
our full seryices. We have been unable, however, to fully implement the 40-hour week, and most of
our nursing staff are being paid overtime. It will notbe possible to work the shorter week until such time
a£ we have more accommodation available in our nurses' home.
HONORARY DENTISTS.
Dental services have been provided by Drs. O. Gough and N. Heath, and Mr. B. Mahon, Mr. R. W.
Kennison, Mr. J. Rosson and Mr. A. Crawford, and to them we express thanks. It is a matter for
some concern that an extension of dental services has been retarded owing to lack of accommodation,
but we are hopeful of being able to improve the position this year.
KARDINIA HOUSE.
In our private and intermediate section we have again experienced a busy time, and no less than 1530
patients were admitted.
There is an incessant demand for beds and forward bookings are a regular feature. At times the
nursing staffing has been difficult, but we have been able to keep all the Hospital beds available. To
Sister M. S. Jones, who came to us as Sister in Charge early in the year, we express appreciation for
her excllent administration, and to all staff members we say thanks.
BLOOD TRANSFUSION SERVICE.
In our report last year we stressed the importance of our Blood Transfusion Service, which was
available to everyone in Geelong. We again are proud to say that a splendid service has been made
available and 707 blood transfusions were given.
Much could be written of the great work which has been accomplished but suffice it to say that
there are many people in Geelong and District to-day who owe their lives to the fact that they received
blood transfusions at the Hospital.
5
So great a volume of work is being done that we find our present accommodation in our Theatre
block is insufficient, and we have now completed plans for a new building in which all our Blood
work will be done. The building will be situated between the Theatre and the Midwifery ward, and
we are hoping to commence building operations very soon.
This section of our report would not be complete without a tribute being paid to that large body of
people which makes this work possible. We refer to the voluntary donors who so readily come when
called. Their service is one of the most generous in the community, and is worthy of the highest praise.
BUILDINGS.
It is with a great deal of regret that we report that no new buildings were commenced during the
year, but we are hopeful that our Nurses' Home extension will commence by September, 1948. The
need for more accommodation for nursing staff is an urgent one and our proposed extension will pro-vide
an additional 100 bedrooms, service rooms, lounges, laundries, etc.
Plans for our Maternity Hospital, to be built on the "Baxter House" site, are completed, and are
awaiting approval by the Charities Board. This building is urgently required, and we are doing all
In our power to have the work commenced at an early date. Concurrent with the two mentioned pro-posals
we must proceed with the erection of a new boiler house and laundry to serve the additional
needs of the Hospital.
Considerable other major planning is being proceeded with, as it is necessary for us to provide
additional public ward accommodation and also to provide an ancillary services block. It is our aim
to build up our accommodation to 500 beds and to provide all services to serve these beds. The plan-ning
of all this on our existing site has been set out by our architects, Messrs. Buchan, Laird and
Buchan, and the layout is now with the Charities Board for its approval.
NEW EQUIPMENT.
A considerable amount has been spent on new equipment particularly in relation to food services.
Seven electrically heated food trolleys were purchased, refrigerators were installed in each ward, resi-dents'
quarters, nurses' home, and nurses' dining room. A mixing machine was installed in our main
kitchen, and other smaller items were secured. We feel that with the installation of this equipment,
our food service standards have been raised considerably. On the medical and surgical side much
valuable equipment has been provided, notably in the field of anaesthesia. In this section we are now
able to administer anaesthetics, which make possible surgery which could not be previously attempted.
Much o£her equipment has been secured, and we are constantly on the alert to bring our services up to
very high standard.
STAFF APPRECIATION.
To our Professional staffs, such as Pharmacy, Physiotheraphy Bio-Chemestry, X-Ray and Almoner,
the Business Manager and his administrative staff, we express our apprecation of the splendid service
they are giving to the Hospital. Other male and female employees (some of whom have been members
for many years) have contributed in no small measure to the smooth running of the Hospital.
AUXILIARIES.
Our many Auxiliaries have again rendered a service which cannot adequately be expressed in words.
At all recent annual meetings there was a record of magnificent service and of notable enthusiasm.
This work goes on throughout the year, and the value to the Hospital is tremendous. To all auxiliary
members we express grateful appreciation.
HOSPITAL GALA.
The 1947 Hospital Gala was an outstanding success, and a sum of of £4500 was raised in the effort.
A tremendous amount of work is involved in this annual function, and we are grateful to all those
who in any way assist us each year.
RED CROSS SERVICES.
During the year all Red Cross Headquarters was established in the Hospital grounds. In this build-ing
the local branch of the Society conducts its meetings, and in one section the occupational craft
work is carried on. From here it extends to long-term patients in our wards, and the value of this
6
service is considerable. The Library, which is also conducted by Red Cross workers, is giving a won-derful
service to our inmates. To all helpers in these spheres of work we express thanks.
GENERAL THANKS,
In any Hospital year a great number of organisations and individuals are constantly remembering
the Hospital. Hospital Sunday, Geelong Racing Club Meetings, Bands Displaysj School children and
sporting bodies, just to name a few. Then there are the annual contributors and the great number
of people who by various gifts help in our work. To all these we express grateful thanks.
Again we have had a very excellent co-operation from the Editor and Staff of the "Geelong Adver-tiser."
At all times, despite space shortage, hospital items have received prominence, and thus the public
has been kept posted with items of interest. The management of 3GL also has given us ready support
whenever we have required it, and for this great help we express thanks.
In concluding this report, I again appeal to the people of Geelong and District to continue their
sjipport of the Institution. It is absolutely necessary for this to be maintained and for even a greater
support to be given. Practically every commodity has increased in price during the last year and we
expect even greater increases. Please do not sit back and say "Let the Government support the Hospital."
Governments are generously providing much money, as our financial statement shows. I believe, how-ever,
that a duty falls on any community to help provide hospitals and to assist in their maintenance.
This Hospital is yours, and you should always cherish that thought. We have finished the year
with a deficit in our maintenance account, and it must be made up somehow. But, measured against
the record of service in the Hospital it is really not so large. We, at the Hospital, prefer to measure
our work, not by credit or debit balance in any year, but by the service we have given to the community,
and then to have faith that a generous and thinking public will take up our debits and relieve us of
financial worries.
We are endeavoring to make the standard of work as high as we can, and you can become partners
with us in the work. »
I desire to express my personal appreciation of the outstanding work of the Business Manager (Mr.
C. R. Frencham). He is an acknowledged authority on Hospital Administration, and his tactful advice
and help has, in no small measure, offset the loss from the House Committee of Mr. J. T. Kerley and
Dr. R. G. McPhee by death, and Mr. O. C. Hearne by resignation, and their profound knowledge which
would have been available to a new President. I extend to Mr. Frencham my grateful thanks.

J. M. ELLIOTT, Matron.
22nd ANNUAL REPORT OF THE HOSPITAL AUXILIARY COUNCIL.
It is with pleasure that I present the 22nd Annual Report for the year ending 30th June, 1948,
and in so doing, wish to record appreciation of the excellent work carried out by all members of the
Branches.
Quarterly meetings have been held regularly, and have been well attended, and in nearly all cases,
Matron's requirements have been fulfilled. Owing to coupons and rationing, branches mostly donated
money for the goods required, instead of buying the material and sewing same, but now that coupons are
no longer needed, it is hoped that more sewing will be undertaken by the members, the only thing that
may prevent this, is a shortage of sewing cotton.
The Linen Afternoon was held as usual, donations of money instead of linen being received, but this
year, it is hoped that people will once again revert to bringing linen. From the Street Appeal held the
previous week, in connection with the Linen Afternoon, the returns were small, and are gradually
becoming less each year. This year, badges will be on sale, and it is hoped that this will be more
successful.
The unselfishness of the members of the Branches, who undertake this work of collecting in the
streets, is very much appreciated,- and very sincere thanks are extended to one and all.
The thanks of the Council are also due to all members of the public who attended the Linen After-noon,
to the artists, to those members who assisted and supplied the afternoon tea, and to those
who were responsible for the floral decorations.
Members of No. 1 branch still continue with the work of mending and repairing, year after year,
this is a very valuable contribution, and one that has always been greatly appreciated. The part the
Branches play on Gala Day is very great, and they add to the funds, both on the day, and by their
work beforehand, many hundreds of pounds.
That each branch continues its good work (some with increased membership, and others not so
fortunate), is a source of gratification to the Hospital authorities. The needs of the Hospital are now
greater than ever, and so much more is required, therefore, it is essential that your efforts should not
slacken, they should not diminish, rather they must he added to, and a drive for membership can attain
this goal. Standards of value must be maintained, (in spite of increased costs), a challenge to people
to take up their responsibilities should be thrown out, so that each branch becomes increasingly
stronger with the passing of years.
There is something very fine in your work, in its contribution to the Hospital, the spirit of service,
that is ever upmost, the satisfaction that comes from performing this service, the spirit of co-operation,
the desire to help people quite unknown to you, the doing of many unromantic things, marks all
your work done for that section of the Community which needs it so, and is something that cannot be
measured or valued in pounds, shillings or pence, but it is acknowledged and appreciated by the Hospital
as a whole, and it is not a case of "From none but self expect applause."
The present atmosphere of inertia and fear of the future is felt by many, and much has to be done
to-day to raise the spirit of the people, it is easier to heal when spirits are high, than when spirits are
low, and in your work for the Hospital, the giving of valuable equipment, the sewing, the contribution
of money and time, is all helping in this work of building up and making, instead of destroying, and it
is hoped that this service to the Hospital will ever continue, growing stronger and stronger, and that
each year will be an outstanding one.
14
In closing my report, I desire to express to Mr. Neilson, President, the appreciation of the
Branches, of his attendance at many of the Annual Meetings, and that he finds time to attend, only-reveals
how valuable he realises the work of the Auxiliary branches to be. To Messrs. Bell and D'Helin,
Vice-presidents, are thanks also expressed for presiding at many meetings, their giving up of so
much of their time is greatly appreciated.
To Matron Elliott and Mr. Frencham, are very appreciative thanks expressed, for their unfailing
interest in the Branches, for their very interesting, and instructive talks, which reveals so much of
interest in the life of the Hospital. Some of the many troubles experienced (they only tell us some
of, the minor ones), the human stories and various incidents that some times bring their own rewards, are
all of great interest to the Auxiliary members, and help to keep the needs of the Hospital ever before
the public.
In conclusion, I wish to thank Mrs. B. W. Bell, Assistant Hon. Secretary (a position which she has
held for many years), for her ever ready assistance, which does*much to help me. To the Editor and
Staff of the "Geelong Advertiser," are thanks expressed, for the help rendered in the publicity given to
the work of the Auxiliaries, it is an important factor ih making known the work and wants of the
Branches, and it is always greatly appreciated.

ALMONER'S ANNUAL REPORT
In the past year 464 patients have been referred to this department. Many of these required after
care, and their plight, when they are unable to care f o r themselves, emphasises the need for our local
Old Folks Home.
Many of our patients are now living in Housing Commission Homes, but several are still waiting
to move from unsuitable, inadequate homes. These two needs are probably the greatest problems in
following up our patients to-day.
Throughout the year we have had regular visits from the Surgeon working with the Consulative
Council for Poliomyelitis. We were very sorry to lose Mr. Jens, who was sent to districts further
away from Melbourne, but Dr. Elizabeth McComas is now in charge of our patients, most of whom
have returned to school or work.
The Almoner was pleased to have visits from three English Almoners, and also from Miss Rennison,
Directress of Social Science, all of whom were interested in the work of the Hospital.
Outpatients are still interviewed for assessment, and this year 2007 were seen, and of these IS were
sent back to Lodge Doctors, and 92 were advised to consult private doctors. Probably many of these
"Private doctor" patients were under the impression that all Hospital service is free.
Other patients have been assisted in the following ways:—
Referred to or from other hospitals 12
" " "• " societies 86
" " " clergy 10

The Almoner would like, once again, to thank the Medical and Nursing Staffs for their advice and
help; those auxiliaries who contributed to the Samaritan Fund, and all the societies and outside
agencies, without whose co-operation this work would be impossible.
