History
Edgware General Hospital was originally known as Redhill Hospital and was built by Hendon Board of Guardians in December 1927. It was taken over by Middlesex County Council on 1 April 1930 who renamed it Redhill County Hospital. The hospital became part of the National Health Service in 1948 and came under the control of the North West Metropolitan Regional Hospital Board and Hendon Group Hospital Management Committee. Its name was changed the same year to Edgware General Hospital.
In 1937 Middlesex County Council acquired a newly built private clinic in Heathbourne Road, Bushey Heath, Hertfordshire to be used as a maternity hospital. It opened on 1 January 1938 with 48 beds as Middlesex County Maternity Hospital. It was administered from Redhill County Hospital, now Edgware General Hospital. In 1948 it became part of the National Health Service as one of the Hendon Group of hospitals of the North West Metropolitan Regional Hospital Board. The name of the hospital was changed to Bushey Maternity Hospital. The hospital closed in c 1977.
Hendon District Hospital was founded in 1913 on a site on the corner of Hendon Way and Elliot Road, London NW4. In 1948 the hospital was transferred to the National Health Service and came under the control of the North West Metropolitan Regional Hospital Board as part of the Hendon Group of Hospitals.
