| Description | Annual reports of Saint Ultan's Hospital containing reports of the Board, Medical, Nursing, Amusement, Utility, Finance and House committees. Also lists of officers and board members, lists of subscriptions and donations, accounts, rules for probations, notices of the death or retirement of prominent members or supporters, reports on special events or conferences, and from 1956 details of the Dr Kathleen Lynn Memorial Fund.
Many of the reports contain photographs of patients illustrating the success of the hospital treatments, details of the history of the hospital and Saint Ultan, as well as copies of publicity flyers produced for the hospital. The reports provide knitting patterns for baby clothes to be made for the hospital, and a form for donations.
The medical reports become increasingly detailed as the scope of the hospital's activities increases, with sections on the laboratory, out-patients, tuberculosis, physiotherapy, social work, Montessori, surgical and BCG units being included at different times over the series. The reports also detail admissions and discharges to the hospital, and at times give additional data on the age of patients, length of stay, analysis of causes of death, and how many patients are fee paying.
This series of reports is not a complete set, as the years 1970-1971 and 1974-1979 are missing, and there are no reports after 1980.
