Printed statement by the Joint Committee of the Meath Hospital and Co. Dublin Infirmary issued for 'the information of the public and of the members of the Oireachtas'. The statement attacks the proposed Meath Hospital Act as an unnecessary and hasty piece of legislation, it raises several areas of concern including distribution of beds in the hospital, staff appointments and accusations made against the Joint Committee in the Dail.

Typescript circular letter from Micheal O'Leary, Patrick T O'Reilly and Joseph Houston asking for support of their candidature for election to the new Meath Hospital Committee, established by the 1951 Act. They raise concerns with the actions of the hospital's medical boards in relation to the election, and 'the very active hostility' shown to newly appointed doctors to the hospital by the Medical Board.
