commcm knowledge the country is experiencing an economic crisis and the repercussions of that crises are being felt in all Mr Goodwin said he still believed that with the co-operation of all public bodies in C'-headle the scheme for a maternity home could be brought to fruition suggestion had been made (he said) that patients be moved from Cheadle Hospital to the Isolation Hospital and that a maternity wing be provided at Bank-street Hospital This could be done for £12000 some similar figure The Parish Council appointed a deputation to be accompanied by members of the Cheadle RDC to appear before the Regional Hospital Board to press that the Chead'e Isolation Hospital at akeway should be put into commission without delay meth for the Ml- Fmney the ranks the iate i Greenwood as can
