Hendon Group Hospital Management Committee

Hendon Group Hospital Management Committee was set up in 1948 by the North West Metropolitan Regional Hospital Board to manage the following hospitals and clinics - Edgware General Hospital, Bushey Maternity Hospital, Hendon District Hospital, Colindale Hospital, Hendon Isolation, later West Hendon Hospital, Roxbourne Hospital, Oxhey Grove, Stanmore Cottage Hospital, Harrow Chest Clinic and Edgware Chest Clinic. Records from the first three hospitals have also been transferred to the London Metropolitan Archive. Kingsbury Hospital was added to the Group in 1972.

A major reorganisation of the standing committees and the administrative structure took place in 1966-1967. The Group hospitals were formed into three main functional sub-groups, namely:-

1 Edgware General and Bushey Maternity Hospitals.

2 Colindale and Hendon District Hospitals and the two chest clinics.

3 West Hendon Hospital and the geriatric hospitals (ie Oxhey Grove, Roxbourne, Glebe House, Stanmore Cottage Hospital and Orme Lodge).

The Staff and Establishment Committee, the Finance and General Purposes Committee and the Works and Building Committee were replaced by the Finance and Staff Committee and the Planning and General Purposes Committee. The six Hospital Committees were replaced by three Hospital Committees, one for each main sub-group.

Hendon Group Hospital Management Committee ceased to exist in 1974 when the National Health Service was reorganised.
