Bound volumes containing reports produced by the authorised visitor's committee. The reports relate to the condition of the hospital and general services in the hospital, along with the occasional comment from patients. The visits happened irregularly initially over the course of the year, with the reports being a few comments but developed into a more thorough analysis of the services in the hospital. The reports are a mixture of handwritten reports and typed, stuck-in, reports from 1938 onwards. Each report is signed by the visitor.
Typescript minutes of the authorised visitors committee, 1982-1991. Minutes include reports on patient welfare, Matron's report to the committee, general news and changes in hospital personale, such as new admissions and deaths.
Annual reports for the charity, 1905-present, which typically include a financial statement, a list of board of management members and senior staff, donation details and photographs and illustrations of the hospital. The reports were published as a single pamphlet or booklet, some of the early reports have been bound together into hardboard volumes. Reports dating from 1858-1901 were not published separately and can be found within the subscription books (archive ref: RHN/FU/2/2). The reports may also be found within the reports of the general meeting volumes (archive ref: RHN/AD/1/1).
